1) XY>0

2) X+Y>0


I picked E. However the OA is C...

I know that from statement 1, X and Y either have to be both (-) or both (+), and statement 2 tells us that X>Y...but couldnt X still be negative and larger than Y? Ex: X is -2, Y is -4, AND X can be (+) and still bigger than Y...what am i missing?

thank yoU!

• (1) x > 0 and y > 0
  (2) x < 0 and y < 0

  (2) x > 0 and y < 0 and |x| > |y|
  (3) x < 0 and y > 0 and |x| < |y|
