Answer / pravin
It is not possible to compare two nulls with each other.
Still if we want to compare null then we have isnull
operator.

The answer-6 is quite matching with my stuff. Let me clear
it in more writting:
1. When we compare two nulls then the result
always 'false'. The main reason is the null is not a value
its neither an empty nor a empty space, so the actual
result is null which places as null.
2. When we compare a null with another which has some value
like some int value then the result is false. The actual
result is false and not null.
Consider the following examples:
--null = null is null which is false
Declare @intNull1 int
Set @intNull1 =null
Declare @intNull2 int
Set @intNull2=null
If @intNull1=@intNull2
Print 'null = null is true'
Else
Print 'null = null is false'
--Now assign some value
Set @intNull1 = 1
If @intNull1=@intNull2
Print 'null = int value is true'
Else
Print 'null = int value is false'
