OA is E
I thought the answer was C, because used together we can say no xy is not greater than 27[/spoiler]
If x and y were integers this would be the case. You have to remember that the GMAT likes to trick us for things like this. Whenever you see a question like this make sure you know if they are integers or not. The GMAT will makes this very clear. If they are not integers be very careful!grandh01 wrote: I thought the answer was C, because used together we can say no xy is not greater than 27
