GMAT Data Sufficiency (DS) | Re: Is 1 > |x-1| ?

Is 1 > |x-1| ?

(1) (x-1)^2 > 1
(2) 0 > x

(1) (x-1)^2 > 1

|x-1| > 1

The question asks if 1>|x-1| #1 tells us that the OPPOSITE is true.
SUFFICIENT

(2) 0 > x

1 > |x-1|

If x is less than zero (x<0) then (x-1) is negative, thus:

1 > -(x-1)
1 > -x +1
2 > -x
-2 < x
Valid, as -2 falls within the range of x<0
SUFFICIENT
