I. a + b > x + y. Since a and b are each greater than x and y, then the sum of a and b will also be greater than the sum of x and y.
II. ab > xy. Not necessarily true, consider a = b = 0 and x = y = -1 --> ab = 0 < 1 = xy.
III. |a| + |b| > |x| + |y|. Not necessarily true, consider a = b = 0 and x = y = -1 --> |a| + |b| = 0 < 2 = |x| + |y|.
Answer: A.
Hope its clear.

Is this the only way - i mean hit and trial and then negate the options one by one. Aren't there chances of missing some exceptional combination and the method may turn out to be time consuming.....
