St1: x > y
x = 1/2; y = -1 --> x^2 < y^2
x = 2; y = 1 --> x^2 > y^2
Not Sufficient
St2: x > 0 --> Clearly insufficient as we have no information about y
Combining St1 and St2, we can use the conditions mentioned in St1 and we get both yes and no answer.

Is x^2 > y^2?
Is |x| > |y|?
So, the question basically asks whether x is further from 0 than y is.
(1) x > y. Not sufficient.
(2) x > 0. Not sufficient.
(1)+(2) We know that x is positive and greater than 0. Still not sufficient to say whether x is further from 0 than y is. Consider below:
--y----------0--x NO answer.
--0----------y--x YES answer.
Answer: E.
