Detailed Solution

Given that p and q are in inverse proportion.
To check then (p + 2) and (q - 2) are also in inverse proportion.
Use the given fact that p and q are in inverse proportion and hence,
pq = constant
(p + 2) and (q - 2) are also in inverse proportion if and only if
(+ 2)(- 2) = constant
pq + 2(- p) - 4  pq  Hence the given statement is false.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
