On the number line, the distance between x and y is greater than the distance between x and z. Does x lie between x and y on the number line?
1. xyz<0
2. xy<0
1. xyz<0
2. xy<0
It will be "Does z lie between x and y on the number line?"alex.gellatly wrote:On the number line, the distance between x and y is greater than the distance between x and z. Does x lie between x and y on the number line?

Consider the following two cases,
- x = 2, y = -1, z = 1 ---> YES
x = 2, y = -1, z = 3 ---> NO
Hence, both statements together is also not sufficient.
The correct answer is E.
