Is x < 0 ?

(1) y + x < 0
If y>0, then x is surely negative.
If y<0, say y=-10, then x could be 2, or 9 or -18.
Insufficient

(2) y > 12
Nothing about x.


Combined
y>0, so x<0.
Sufficient

IMO OPTION C

St1 if x = 5 and y=-6 y+x<0
if x = -6 and y=-6 y+x<0
Two different values for x . Cannot say

St2 y>12. We donot know anythng abt X. N.S

Combining statement. ,we can say x has to be negative. Magniyude of x will be greater than that of y and will take the negative sign.

OptionC

Question is asking Is x negative

Let’s dig down 1st statement y + x < 0
We don’t know the value of y, if y is negative integer and it’s magnitude is greater than x then even if x is positive or negative condition will still be true. So Eliminate A and D

And with 2nd statement y > 12
We don’t know about x. Eliminate B

Taking both statements together;
We know that y is positive, so x should be negative to satisfy the first statement. Sufficient

Answer is C
