Are positive integers p and q both greater than n?

(1) p-q is greater than n
(2) q>p

OPEN DISCUSSION OF THIS QUESTION IS HERE: http://gmatclub.com/forum/are-positive- ... 29425.html

Whether following approach is wrong?
1) p-q>n
p>n+q, so p greater than n, but can not be decided whether q > n. Insufficient.
2) q > p, no information about n. so insufficient.

For C
q>p and p>n so, p and q both are greater than n.

Whether following approach is wrong?
1) p-q>n
p>n+q, so p greater than n, but can not be decided whether q > n. Insufficient.
2) q > p, no information about n. so insufficient.

For C
q>p and p>n so, p and q both are greater than n.

Given: $$p=integer>0$$ and $$q=integer>0$$. Question: is $$p>n$$ and $$q>n$$?

(1) $$p-q>n$$. Clearly insufficient.

(2) $$q>p$$, no info about $$n$$. Not sufficient.

(1)+(2) Sum (1) and (2) (we can safely do this as their signs are in the same direction): $$p-q+q>n+p$$ --> $$n<0$$. As given that both $$p$$ and $$q$$ are positive then they are greater than negative $$n$$. Sufficient.
