Is a/b > c?
(1) a> bc. If b is negative, then after divining both sides by b and flipping the sign (when dividing by negative value we should flip the sign), we'd get a/b < c (answer NO) but if b is positive, then after divining both sides by b (when dividing by positive value we should keep the sign), we'd get a/b > c (answer YES). Not sufficient.
(2) b > 0. Clearly insufficient.
(1)+(2) Since b is positive from (2), then we have the second case from (1): a/b > c (answer YES). Sufficient.

Bunuel
It could also be possible that a and c are both negative and c is more negative than a. I jus do not get how to approach such questions. Is there a frame of mind one should be in? Bunuel
Does this question have a verified source?
