If w and c are integers, is w > 0?
(1) w + c > 50
(2) c > 48

Agree with the post above: E

Statement I:

w + c > 50

w & c could be a wide range of positive or negative numbers.

Statement II:

tells us nothing about w.

Combining the statements: w could either be positive, if c is 49 or negative if c > 50.

E
