AA
We can infer two possible situations from the above equation
x is negative, y is positive OR
x is negative, y is positive
Statement (1) says x<0; this implies that y is positive and we can conclude that x<y. Therefore, Statement (1) is sufficient.
Statement (2) says y<10; however, y can be positive or negative and this leads us nowhere! Therefore, Statement (2) is insufficient.
Answer is (A)... Hope this helps!
