For a series $S = 1 -2 + 3\, -\, 4 … n$ terms,

Statement $-1$ : Sum of series always dependent on the value of $n$ , i.e. whether it is even or odd. 

Statement $-2$ : Sum of series is $-\frac {n}{2}$ when value of $n$ is any even integer

  • A

    Statement $-1$ is true, statement $-2$ is true but statement $-1$ is not the correct explanation for statement $-2$

  • B

    Statement $-1$ is true, statement $-2$ is false

  • C

    Statement $-1$ is false, statement $-2$ is true

  • D

    Both statements are true, and statement $-1$ is the true explanation of statement $-2$
