Four diff integers with their product \(6\)
We need the least no so the no can be \(-3, -1, 1, 2\)
Least no = -3
Answer B

Let's factorize 6 first, we get factors as 1, 2, 3 and 6
Now for product of 4 different integers to yield 6, all integers must be < 6
They are nothing but the factors 1,2 and 3
The product is as follows: -3 * 2 * -1 * 1, need 2 negatives to create +ve 6
so, minimum number is -3
Answer: B
