Exam Tomorrow - Need help with this one

12. DS: x+y>0?

1) x/(x+y)>0;
2) y/ (x + y)> 0;

OA is C but I think that it should be E

Pls hep me out

Thanks

IMO OA is wrong

Let me demonstrate with an example

x = -2
y = -4

x+y = -6
-ve

x/(x+y) = 1/3
+ve

y/(x+y) = 2/3
+ve





Now
x = 2
y = 4


x+y = 6
+ve

x/(x+y) = 1/3
+ve

y/(x+y) = 2/3
+ve

So answer is E only :)

btw, My suggestion is to avoid last minute study and take proper rest

All the best!!!

Do share your experience..Gud luck
