1- Not sufficient. First example-49+2=51, 49*2=98 so prpdict is not greater than 100. Now another example- 48+3=51 but 48*3=154. Hence not sufficient

2-sufficient. Lowest pair of numbers greater than 10 would be 11*11=121, which is greater than 100.

Hence, B - only statement 2 is sufficient

Is the product of two numbers greater than 100?

(1) The sum of the two numbers is greater than 50.
(2) Each of the numbers is greater than 10.

Statement 1: two number can be 50 & 1. the sum is 51 but the product is 50. similarly the two number can be 20 & 40. the sum is 60 and the product is 800. So we get a Yes & No. Hence insufficient

Statement 2: Logically if the two numbers are greater than 10 then their products will be greater than 10. Hence Sufficient

Mathematically, let the numbers be $$a$$ & $$b$$
given that $$a>10$$----(1) &
$$b>10$$------(2)
as both $$a$$ & $$b$$ are positive, we can multiply the inequality without changing the sign. hence multiplying inequality 1 & 2 will give us

$$a*b>10*10$$ or $$ab>100$$ . Hence sufficient.

Option B

Hi Anamil

the highlighted portion is technically not correct. as we are given two numbers are greater than 10 and NOT INTEGERS,
so the two numbers could be 10.0000001 or 10.00000000001
