Statement 1: x² > y²sud21 wrote:Is x>y?
1) x^2>y^2
2) y-y^2<0
Hence, |x| > |y|
Not sufficient
Statement 2: (y - y²) < 0 ---> y(1 - y) < 0
Hence, either y < 0 or y > 1
No information on x.
Not sufficient
1 & 2 Together: Either y < 0 or y > 1 and |x| > |y|
For, x = 4 and y = 2 ---> x > y ---> YES
For, x = -4 and y = - 2 ---> x < y ---> NO
Not sufficient
The correct answer is E.
