Is \(\frac{2xn - 2x}{n-1}>y\)? Factor out \(2x\) and reduce by \(n-1\): is \(2x>y\)?

(1) x > y/2 --> multiply by 2: \(2x>y\). Sufficient.
(2) n = 3. Not sufficient.

Answer: A.

The key to solving this question is => we must know that we can factor out any term unless its not zero on the same side of the inequality but we cant change the sign..

Here after we cancel out n-1 from numerator and Denominator => We are asked if 2x>y or not.
Clearly statement 1 is sufficient
