Is \(x \gt y^2\) ?
1. \(x \gt y + 5\)
2. \(x^2 - y^2 = 0\)
OA: c
Here is what the explanation says -
Statement (1) by itself is insufficient. Consider \((x,y)=(5, -1)\) or \((5, -3)\) .
Statement (2) by itself is insufficient. Consider \((x,y)=(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2})\) or \((2, 2)\) .
Statements (1) and (2) combined are sufficient. The absolute values of \(x\) and \(y\) are equal and \(x \gt y\) , implying that \(x\) is positive and \(y\) is negative. Therefore, \(x \gt y^2\) is false.
My point is why can't we consider x= 1/2 and y= -1/2 as the test case for combined case. If we consider that then even the combined statements case should be insufficient. Please suggest me if I am wrong.
