p=6 q=4 n =2 --> is q>n yes
not sufficient
p-q>n
p-q>0
combined above two eqn. 0>n
n is negative.
clearly p and q are positive integers.
suffuient.
C

Hi,VigneshRam wrote:if n<0 how does it mean that p and q greater than n?
because its given both p and q are positive integers.
so if p=4 and q =6 p-q= -2 but both p and q are greater than n
