(1) i is odd and j is even
(2) i2 > j2
E. since we do not know whether i and j both are +ve or -ve.

St1:
i could be 5, then a5 = 10, j could be 8, then a8 = 16 and ai <aj> aj.
As long as the stement doesn't tells us if ai came first or aj came first, then we can't tell their relationship.
St2:
The statement tells us n >= 1. So i and j must be positive. In this case, i must be always greater than j and ai > aj.
Sufficient.
