(a)Given,  (-3) \times \_\_\_\_\ = 27

The product is positive, therefore there should be even number of negative integers.

(-3) \times \underline{(-9)}= 27            

(b) Given, 5 \times \_\_\_\_\_ \ = -35
The product is negative, therefore there should be odd number of negative integers.

5 \times \underline{(-7)} = -35

(c) \_\_\_\_ \ \times (- 8) = -56         

The product is negative, therefore there should be odd number of negative integers.

\underline{7}\times (- 8) = -56

(d) \_\_\_\ \times (-12) = 132

The product is positive, therefore there should be even number of negative integers.

\underline{(-11)} \times (-12) = 132
