Answer is E. Both statements together are not sufficient. 1. x>0 2. y<0 Combining both statements, equation (a) that you have derived is not satisfied. y < 0 AND |x| > |y| .......... (a) Suppose x = 2 and y = -3 then y < 0 but |x| < |y| I knew I was missing something... you are right, answer should...

Is it [E]?magical cook wrote:Hi,
Can anone help?
Thanks,
Bottomline, x + y = 1 (x and y are both fractions)
Statement(1), if y > 0.15, then x < 0.85 must be true, but that doesn't necessarily mean that x < 0.8 will be true. NS
Statement(2), NS
Together, NS.

Re: OG 11 - Ques 139
If x <> -y, is (x-y)/(x+y) > 1? 1. x>0 2. y<0 Can't we simplify this to (x-y)>(x+y) so the question reduces to is 2y<0? Then it can be answered by statement 2 alone. The inequality in ques 114 (OG 11) has been simplified so why not this one? Is OA [C]? The reason being: for (x-y)/(x+y) > 1 to be tr...

How is (1) sufficient... the equationerdnah wrote:(2) alone is not sufficient
(1) alone is sufficient
vw-v^2=0
v(w-v)=0
v(w-v) = 0 implies
EITHER v = 0
OR w - v = 0 => w = v
You can't tell for certain if v = 0, hence not sufficient.
Combined, not sufficient.
Hence my answer is [E].
