E for me ,
1) X^2 is positive therefor x can be positive or negative
2) x.|y| is not a postive number , thus x can be 0 , -ve or +ve
it can be positive when |y| = 0,
combining X CAN BE +VE , -VE , thus E

should be C
|X| = X when x>0
|X-1| = 1-X when x<1
combine x+ 1-x = 1 , thats what we need
first statement says x>=0 therefore we can conclude that |x| = x
but we are not sure about |x-1|
second statemnet says x<=1 thus we knw |x-1| =1-x
thus combining the two we can have the ans...

should be E We need to find if y>1.5 z first statement says y>0.66 Z , clearly insufficient because if y >0.66 z it can or cannot be greater than 1.5 z 2nd statement says y<2z, again insufficient because if y <2z it can or cannot be greater than 1.5 z combined 0.66z<y<2z again y can be greater than ...

Looks to be C , the first statement only gives the ratio... therefore diametre can be 3, 6, 9 ..etc not sufficient second statement says the hypotunese is 25 therefore , we can have any pythogoras triplet with x^2+ y^2 = 25 ^ as the answer infact we can have 15 , 20 as one of the values .... but in ...

It has been mentioned in the statement that n >20
the values we can have using option 1 are
22, 24, 26, 28, 33, 36, 39, 44, 48, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99
all composite , thus A is the ans

D it is ,
we knw x >0 , thus x^2 will be less than x when 0<x<1
first statement says this only x is a fraction
2nd x^3 <x^2 , again this will happen only when x is a fraction
thus x^2 will be less than x

A It is ,
AB=3 i.e. radius of the smaller circle
BC= 2 AC =5 radius of the larger circle ,
we find the difference in area

no actually I wanted to knw hw B is insufficient,
i.e z^2 = x^2+y^2 ,
it seems to me this is sufficient to prove that
x>z-y
e.g z= 13, y = 12, x =5
z= 13 , y = 12, x = 5
I cant find a case where the condition is insufficient
