Quote: 0 = 4x² - 4x - 120

This should instead be 0 = 4x²+ 4x - 120
solving this gives (x+6)*(x-5)=0
or x = 5 (since x cannot be -6)

Therefore x = 5

St1: √x > y
√4 = 2 > 1 Is x>y - Yes
√1/4 = ½ > 1/3 Is x>y - No
Hence Insufficient

St2: x^3 > y
23 = 8 > 5 Is x>y - No
23 = 8 > 1 Is x>y - Yes
Hence Insufficient

Together: x^3 > y AND √x > y (See attached table)
Hence Sufficient

In D, it seems to suggest that tough leaves require a lengthy cooking time. That's incorrect. The original meaning is intended to suggest that winter greens have a lengthy cooking time which is rightly suggested by option B.
