Is |x| < |y| ?

1) x < y
2) xy > 0

OA later ;)

Lemme give it a quick shot. OA is E?

1) x < y
Not sufficient
x = 3 y = 4
x=-4, y=3
Both yield diff results.

2)xy > 0
means x,y of same sign.
x = 3 y = 4
x=-4, y=-3



Combining, no new info.
All examples above hold good. Nothing new is available to prove.
Vineesh,
Just telling you what I know and think. I am not the expert. :)
