Interesting GMATFix Problem-2

If Z^2 < z and y is a negative integer, is x greater than the average of y and z?
1) x- |y| >z
2) xz > 0

here i got D but not too sure,
first to st 2 as it seems easier
(2)x*z>0 we know that 0<z<1 ( i mean +ve fraction) so x is also +ve. and y -ve integer
the difference between (y+z) always-ve, and x is +ve, so x>(y+z)/2. as +ve>-ve, the answer is yes

(1) x-|y|>z, z>0 so x-|y|>0, and x>|y|, |y|>0. it means that x>0, and again (y+z)<0, and x>0 so sufficient

very interested in oa
