Is 51/x > 51/y ?

a)X>Y
b)Y is a -ve Integer

• Both the statement are not sufficient to answer the question. As we don't know that x is +ve or -ve. If x=1 and y=-1 then 51/x > 51/y and if x=-2 and y=-3 then 51/x < 51/y so we have not the exact idea of which is greater until we know the value of x.

• only option "a" is sufficient to answer.because the question started with "Is" means its answer will be either "Yes" or "No". So from option "a" we can give answer that "no" its not true..mean "a" alone is sufficient to give answer(its does not matter whether it is true or false the main thing is this, we are able to give the ans of question by using option "a" only).while using option "b" we cant say anything.because here its depend on the value of X.

• both are required to ans.

• answer is b) alone is sufficient to find the answer..

• Ans: No 51/x is not greater than 51/y
  
  given X>Y and x is non negative
  hence it means denominator of 1st fraction is greater than denominator of 2nd thus 51/x is smaller than 51/y .
  so
  Is 51/x>51/y ? Ans : No.

• Last Answer was not correct
  Ans : Yes 51/x is greater than 51/y
  
  given X>Y and Y is -ive integer
  Hence in this case denominator of 1st fraction is greater than denominator of 2nd thus 51/x is smaller than 51/y .
  but since y is a negative number hence 51/y will be smaller than 51/x
  So
  
  Is 51/x>51/y ? Ans : Yes.

• The answer is "b":
  since Y is a -ve integer so 51/x > 51/y...

• statement 1 and 2 are not together to sufficient the answer
  bcz in 2 stament y is given negative but not given x is positive or negative

• alone a can give the answer and not b

• does it matter what is value of x or y.. we hv jst answer yes or no

• only a coz if x>y then statemebt is wrong
  
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• only statement is sufficient
  
  x > y
  1/x < 1/y
  51/x < 51/y
  
  So, Answer is no.
