Which of the following statements are true and which are false? In each case give a valid reason for saying so. (i) r: Circle is a particular case of an ellipse. (ii) s: If x and y are integers such that x > y, then –x < –y.

(i) The condition of an elipse is, In the event that we put\[~a\text{ }=\text{ }b\text{ }=\text{ }1\], we get \[{{x}^{2}}~+\text{ }{{y}^{2}}~=\text{ }1,~\], which is a condition of a circle Thus,...
