1. X+6 > 2 , therefore x can be positive or negative since x can be equal to 100 or x can be equal to -3 as well
Therefore statement 1 is not sufficient
2. X^2 >25
Therefore x^2 - 25 >0
(X+5)(x-5)> 0
Therefore either x>-5 and x<5 OR x<-5 and x>5
Therefore statement 2 is also not sufficient
Therefore Option E

Is x a positive number?
(1) x + 6 > 2
So, x>-4... x can be 10, 20 or -3, -1/2
Insuff
(2) x^2 > 25
so \(x^2>5^2.....x<-5..or..x>5\)
Insuff
combined..
Statement I says x>-4, and statement II says that x<-5 or x>5.
The range of x that is common to both statements is x>5, so x will be positive.
