Squaring both sides we get 2y(x+y) = 0 , so the question becomes "Is 2y(x+y) =0 ?" or y =0 or x=-y ?

Statement 1:

|xy| != perfect square ..
means x!=y or x!=-y , but Y could be zero, or non-zero. Not Sufficient

Statement 2 :

Point (x,y) is above X- axis.

Therefore, y>0 and x = anything.

Point could be (-3,3) or ( -4,3)

So, NOT Sufficient .


Answer E


Correct me if i am wrong.


2y(x+y) =0 ... can't we expand it further? we can. The final equation will be x+y=0

That's not correct. \(y(x+y)=0\) means \(y=0\) or \(x=-y\).
