Test: Positive Negative - Question 2
Save

If xyz > 0, is x > 0?

1) xy > 0
2) xz < 0

Detailed Solution for Test: Positive Negative - Question 2

If xyz > 0  => Either exactly 2 of the valriables are negative or all the variables are positive.

Considering statement (1) alone:
xy > 0 => Both x and y can be positive or neagtive. Insufficient

Considering statement (2) alone:
xz < 0   => One of the x or z is negative. So, x can be positive or negative. Insufficient.

Considering both the statments together:
If xy > 0 and xz < 0 
There are two possibilities now.
Case 1: When x and y are positive
If x and y are positive  and xz < 0 => z is negative.
This is not possible as the question suggests that xyz > 0

Case 2: When x and y are negative
If x and y are negative and xz < 0 => z is positive.
This works for the question also as xyz > 0. And, it provides a definite information that x is negative. Sufficient
