It is written that positive statements can be proven or disproven. So in case the positive statements is disproven than will it be considered as normative statement.

Dear student yes it is correct that positive statements can be proven or disproven. As you know positive statements are based on the actual facts and figures even if the statement is disproven the instance that the statement includes facts and figures can't be ignored and don't involve any judgement. Normative statements are the one which charge based on the personal judgements. Therefore in case of disproven of positive statement it doesn't implied that the same will be considered as normative statement because positive statements whether prove or disprove doesn't contain any judgement on the other hand normative statements are based on judgements.
