Is v−w > x−y?

STATEMENT (1) v>x and w<y
v>x and y>w
adding both inequalities we get

v+y>x+w
v-w>x-y (rearranging the inequalities)
--Is v−w > x−y? YES
SUFFICIENT

STATEMENT (2) w<v and x<y
v>w and y>x
adding both inequalities we get

v+y>w+x
v-w>x-y (rearranging the inequalities)
--Is v−w > x−y? YES
SUFFICIENT

D is the answer

We can rewrite the question is "Is \(v + y > w + x\)?"

Statement 1:

With v > x and y > w, we can add these inequalities on top of each other to get \(v + y > x + w\). Sufficient.

Statement 2:

Again add the inequalities to get \(w + x < v + y\), sufficient.

Ans: D
