Hi Vikas ,mehravikas wrote:We don't know whether x and y and positive or negative.
take y = -1 and 1
statement 1 - is insufficient because
(-1)^2 - 1/1 > 1 - false
(1)^2 + 1/1 > 1 - true
statement 2 is insufficient because it gives no info about x
combine the statement and you can use only positive hence answer 'C'

If we are taking y = -1 in A then shouldn't it be
(-1)^2 - 1/1 > -1 ..?? which is true..
Please explain...
