Target is
xyz>0
possible when all x,y & z are +ve or when either of two are -ve and other +ve

We'll need information about the signs of all three letters, so the answer could only be C or E. Using both Statements, we know from Statement 2 that z is positive, so all we need to know is whether xy is positive. Statement 1 tells us that x-3 and y-3 have the same sign. If they're both positive, then x > 3 and y > 3, and x and y are both positive, so xy is positive. But if x-3 and y-3 are both negative, and x < 3 and y < 3, it is then possible for x and y to have opposite signs. It might be true, say, that x = 2 and y = -10. In that case, xy can be negative. So we can't be sure if xy is positive or negative, and the answer is E.
