given a>b which is a-b>0
simplify the question ab<b^2 --> ab-b^2<0
b(a-b)<0 since a-b>0 is positive, we only need to check is b<0?
statement 2 is sufficient so answer is B

I put in negative decimal and integer value and sometimes ab<b^2 was true and sometimes false on both the statements.
Answer should be E
