Is xy < 17 ?
(1) x < 0 and y > 0.
(2) x ≤ 3 and 2 ≤ y ≤ 5.
(1) x < 0 and y > 0.
(2) x ≤ 3 and 2 ≤ y ≤ 5.
Question: Is xy < 17?
Statement 1: x < 0 and y > 0.
Since x is negative and y is positive hence, xy will always be negative hence
SUFFICIENT
Statement 2: x ≤ 3 and 2 ≤ y ≤ 5
The maximum value of xy will be when x is 3 and y is 5
i.e. Maximum xy = 15 which is less than 17, Hence
SUFFICIENT
Answer: Option D

Ans is A
As from statement 1
x is negative and y is positive so xy<0 which is less than 17
But from statement 2
x can be positive or negative while y is always positive so not sufficient.
