Is \(x^{–y}\) positive?

(1) x is positive.
(2) y is negative.


Statement 1: x = positive
y could be +/- ; either way, it will determine whether the result is x or (1/x) raise to power y and the result will be positive always.

Sufficient.

Statement 2: y= negative
x could be +/- ; similar to statement 1's explanation, sign of x will not depend on y but on x alone.

Not sufficient.



Answer: A.
