Is 2X - 3Y < X^2?

I think the answer is "E"

Taking 2X - 3Y= 2, the equation is valid for both X < 0 and X >0 and hence the above inequality can't be solved.

Now Considering X > 2 and Y > 0, let X = 8 and X =1 and this implies 2X-3Y = 7 which is greater than SqrtX

but if X=3 and Y =2, 2X-3Y = 0 which will be greater than SqrtX

Considering 1 & 2 also doesn't solve the inequality...

Hence "E"

1) 2X - 3Y= 2

2) X>2 and Y>0

OA will be disclosed in a little bit.
Please elaborate!

I do apologize if the problem has been posted before. I searched for it but I couldn't find it.

Thank you!

Stmt1: Not Sufficient because Y is not known.

Stmnt2: Lets X=3, Y = 1
2x-3y = 6 - 3 =3 > sqrt(3)

Lets x= 3, y = 100

2x-3y = a negative number < sqrt(3)

So, stmnt 2 is also Not sufficient.

Take both the statment:

2x-3y = 2 => 2x and 3y will be both even.

so, solution is (4,2), (7, 4), (10,6).....

So, answer is E as the first one is conflicting with other.

Answer is D.

Apologies.

I saw that problem was posted before in the forum.

I believe that you posted the question incorrectly.
S1 should read:

1. 2x-3y = -2
