A)The quantity in Column A is greater.
B)The quantity in Column B is greater.
C)The two quantities are equal.
D)The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
Here since no value are give let us take
both x and y be positive integer such that x= 3 and y =2
From statement 1:
x2÷(y+1y) =
185 = 3.6 (putting the value of x and y in the equation)
From Statement 2 :
y2÷(x+1x) =
1210= 1.2 (putting the value of x and y in the equation)
From above we get statement 1 > Statement 2
Now if we consider negative integer such that x= -2 and y = -3 (since x>y)
From statement 1:
x2÷(y+1y) =
−1210= -1.2 (putting the value of x and y in the equation)
From Statement 2 :
y2÷(x+1x) =
−185 = -3.6(putting the value of x and y in the equation)
From above we have Statement 1 > Statement 2
But we have to look into every possibilities
Now if we consider negative integer such that x= 2 and y = -2 (since x>y)
From statement 1:
x2÷(y+1y) =
−45= -0.8 (putting the value of x and y in the equation)
From Statement 2 :
y2÷(x+1x) =
45 = 0.8(putting the value of x and y in the equation)
From above we have Statement 2 > Statement 1.
Hence the option is D
