Stmt II

m-n > n

m > 2n

n=-1/2 m = -1/10

m/n < 1

m/n>1

INSUFF

m.n-> negative does not mean m and n are integers(since its not stated explicitly).

May be this is what led u to B

I chose B because

2)m-n > n
=> m > 2n
=> m/n > 2

If m/n > 2 then m/n cannot be less than 1, so to me it is sufficient because we get answer NO here

I got it now,
sign of m/n will change because m and n are negative
=> m/n < 2
=> insufficient

If an algebric approach doesnt come your mind or seem convincing then picking numbers to prove or disprove is a good way to approach some ds questions.


Have all the tools u possibly can and attack each prob with what comes to your mind first and foremost. This way u wont be wasting valuable time...

Just my 2 cents; good luck!
