is (x-y)/(x+y)>1?

1) x>0
2) y<0

Please help [/u]
x-y
---- -1 > 0
x+y

x-y-x-y
-------- >0
x+y

y/(x+y) < 0

If x>0 we do not know anything about y insuff
If y<0 we do not know anything abt x insuff

If x>0 and y<0 depends on its value for the sign of x+y, not since y<0 the sum y/(x+y) < 0 means 1/(x+y) > 0 but that is not always true, if y=-2 x =1 we have x+y = -1 while y=-2 x=3 means x+y =1

so E.
Charged up again to beat the beast :)

Thanks maihuna for your response.
I have a question

Why can't you solve it with this equality
(x-y)>(x+y)?

With this I am getting that B is sufficient.

Thanks in advance.

in inequalities dividing or multipying any unknown variable(+or-ve) always leads to two outcomes a positive or a negative

since x-y is + or -ve it is unknown cross multiplying may or may not req change of sign....

therefore whn sign is unknown its always better to limit the operation upto addition or sub...

maihuna - is the second formula supposed to read 2y/x+y?

I dont think it makes a difference to the ans but just wanted to check i was reducing it correctly when i worked it out.

thks
