We need to find if x+5 > y-5
In other words
x> y-10
Statement 1) y< -3
We don't know the value of x, consider the values -15 and 5
for y=-4 and x=5
x> -14 - Valid
but for x=-15
x<y-10. Hence Insufficient
Similarly Statement 2 x> -13
For values of y = 4 and y= 5
the equation gives 2 different possibilities hence statement 2 is insufficient
Combining (1) + (2)
y < -3 and x > -13
the highest possible value of y possible is y=-4
for y = -4
x> -4 -10
x> -14
So the possible values as per statement 2 are x=-12,-11,-10,....
Which satisfy x>-14
