Is x a negative number?
(1) x2 is a positive number.
Insufficient. x can be either positive or negative and still satisfy this statement. x cannot equal 0.
x=1, x2=1
x=-1, x2=1
(2) x X |y| is not a positive number.
Insufficient.
x can be either negative or 0.
(1) and (2)
From (1), x is either positive or negative. x is not 0.
From (2), x is either negative or 0.
Combined, x is negative.
IMO C
I noticed the OA is E. Where am I going wrong? Thanks.
