Statement 1: if $$a=5$$ & $$b=0$$, then $$ab=0$$, so we have a No for our question Stem

if $$a=-6$$ & $$b=-2$$, then $$ab=12$$, so we have a Yes for our question Stem. Insufficient

Statement 2: implies that $$a$$ & $$b$$ are of same sign. But we don't know the values of $$a$$ & $$b$$. Hence Insufficient

Combining 1 & 2 we know that if $$a=-6$$ & $$b=-2$$, then $$ab>11$$ & we have a Yes but if $$a=2$$ and $$b=1$$ then $$ab<11$$ & we have a NO. Hence Insufficient

Option E
Is ab > 11? (1) a < 6 and b < 2 (2) a/b > 0   [#permalink] 10 Dec 2017, 03:26
