Are you sure OA is A?
Becoz from statement 1 there will be two cases
either N > 4 or N > -4? Not sufficient.
And from statement 2 is also Not sufficient.
becoz it only says 1/!n! > n.
But when you combine both 1 and 2 we get
that N > -4.
As 1/!n! > n satisfies this statement.
So IMO C.

Answer should be "A"
1. N^2 > 16
which means N is atleast little more than 4 ---- say 4.1
irrespective whatever N is (-)4.1 or (+)4.1
the absolute value of N is >4 for sure...
|-4.1|>4
|4.1|>4
Statement A is sufficient
2. 1/|N| > N
which means that
- if N is positive.. N has to be between 0 and 1 ...
if N is negative.. has to be >1
Statement B is not sufficient
