Statement 1: if we take x=1, 2, 1/2 we will get different answers.Hence, we can eliminate option A.

Statement 2: limits us as x<1. Sufficient

Since x^2 will always be positive, we can multiply both the sides by x^2
So,
x^2/x < 1
or, x < 1 ?

Only statement (2) answers this question.

Bunuel is this a valid way to solve?

I simplified the question to
(1-X)/x^2>0
Therefore x<1
2nd option directly answered that. I hope that method is fine.
