1 is not sufficient, while 2 is sufficient:

2x:3y = 6:9 => x:y = 3:3 = 1:1.

Yes, they can, but how this can influence the answer:

(x, y) <=> (-x, -y) because x:y = (-x):(-y).

A says xy= 16... thr cud be three different ratios 16*1 2*8 4 X 4...

and X and Y CUD be any one of these six values...

B) 2x/3y=2/3 and hence x/y wud b 1:1

hope that helps!
