Note that is xº = yº, then PQ = SR, if xº > yº, then PQ < SR, and if xº < yº, then PQ > SR.BTGmoderatorLU wrote:Source: GMAT Prep

Let's take each statement one by one.
1) \(x > y\)
=> PQ < SR. The answer is yes. Sufficient.
2)\( x + y > 90\)
All three cases discussed above are applicable. Insufficient.
The correct answer: A
Hope this helps!
