Ajitesh rai  (9 years ago)

Ans (D)..
Here is the solution......

According to first statement.....

x- y = 2 OR x- y = -2 ...

So if you assume any value of 'y' ( eg : y = 4,) then x = 6 OR x= 2 (NO CONCLUSION ON X )

Similarly from second statement... either x + y < 10 OR x+ y > -10 ( NO CONCLUSION)

Hence ans is D..
