Answers:

(i) r: Circle is a particular case of an ellipse.

A circle can be an ellipse in a particular case when the circle has equal axes.

The statement is true.

(ii) s: If x and y are integers such that x > y, then – x < – y.

For any two integers, if x – y id positive then –(x-y) is negative.

The statement is true.
