(1) Sq rt x > y
Does not give a definite Yes or No when 0<X<1 & X>1.
2) x > y
Does not give a definite Yes or No when 0<X<1 & X>1.
Example :
X= 0.25
sqrt X= 0.5
Y=0.2
For St 1:
Sq rt x > y
but ,is x^3 > y----->NO
Now change values of X> 1
is x^3 > y-----> YES
So A& D Ruled out
ST 2: x > y
Use the values of X in 2 cases where X is less than 1 & X greater than 1. We would get a indefinite answer. So B ruled out.

It's a good question. Peope tend to pick D at first go assuming X & Y are integers. But , put a break & see it just says X& Y are positives. It could be that X&Y are fractions or decimals.
