Thanks!
Sorry, the gmatclub formatting makes it look weird. The question was actually |x/y|\(< 1\) . I presume this changes things?

I presume you meant\(\frac{|x|}{|y|} < 1\)
So,either x and y could be both positive or both negative,
x is negative, y positive or x is positive and y, negative.
However it is clear that the magnitude of y will definitely be greater than x(it will be farther away from the origin)
Ifx=1,y=-3, the expression \(\frac{|x+1|}{|y+1|}\) has value 1 , which is not lesser than 1.
