much simpler way..

We know |x|>= 0

Simplify the question is y-z>=0?
st1- y-z=-x (Insuff, as we do not know whether x is +ve or -ve)
st2- x < 0 (Insuff, as no info on y and z)

Now i leave it up to you to decide what u choose C or E.. knowing that -x is +ve and hence y-z is +ve C

Hi Ian.. I applied PT here as u advised but it seems im not getting the right answer Let x=9, y=16, x+y=25 then √x=3 √y=4 √x+y=5 1/√(x + y)=1/5 I. [√(X+Y)]/2x = 5/18 II. [(√X) + (√Y)]/(x + y) = 7/25 III. [(√X) – (√Y)]/(x + y)= -ve so option 1 and 2 is greater than 1/5.. please co...

Why not C...

In number property as we know for a proper fractions adding same numbers, the value increases, and subtracting decrease..

its clearly given here that its a proper fraction (a LT b) and y is -ve and hence the value should decrease..

RON/IAN/Mitch/Sturat can some one correct me..
