IMo E

1. y!=6 and x! > 720

Insufficient , we dont know anything about Z and X could take multiple values.

2. z is the least even integer greater than -1

Least even integer greater than -1 is 2

Zero is positive in GMAT world( Please correct me if I am wrong)

Combining we dont have a definite value for X

SO E

B
