If x, y and \(\frac{x}{y}\) are integers, is x < 0 ?

(1) x < |y|
(2) |x| = |y|


(1) \(x < |y|\)

\(x\) can be \(0 \)and \(y =1 \), ans NO.

x can be \(-1 \)and \(y =1 \), ans yes


(2)\( |x| = |y|\)

\(x =y =1\) , ans is NO
\( x=-1 , y=1 \), ans is yes

\(1+2 \)

X can only be \(-ve \)


IMO ans should be c

Are you certain that OA: A is correct?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there are scenarios which satisfy ALL conditions in which x = 0, AND in which x = neg int.

Surely we need STATEMENT 2 and STATEMENT 2 TOGETHER in order to rule out x = 0, right?


Please clarify my misunderstanding.
