st(1) implies mn is positive but less than 1, which is possible only if both m and n are greater than -1. Hence -1<m<0 and -1<n<0. This is Not Sufficient to answer this question, as m=-1/4 and n=-1/2 satisfy condition with m/n=1/2<1. Whereas m=-1/2 and n=-1/4 also fit the condition but m/n=2>1.

st(2) implies m > 2n and m/n translates into m/n < 2n/n because n is negative. We obtain m/n < 2 which is Not Sufficient to answer the question, as m/n can be less than 1 or 1.5 or some other value.

Combining st(1&2) we get no new information and both statements can be valid with multiple answers. Not Sufficient

2. m - n > n
