Hi Bunuel,
Need some clarity here. From statement 1 it is clear that \(x = -y\) and from statement 2 it is clear that \(x=y\). But in a DS question aren't the two statements supposed to lead to the same value of \(x\) & \(y\)?
Here both the statements are individually sufficient to answer the question stem, but ideally \(x=-y\) and \(x=y\) is only possible when we combine these two to get \(y=0\) & \(x=0\)
