Math question from the GRE General Test

Hi,
The following question appears in the math section of a 'retired' GRE
General Test. My claim is that the official answer is incorrect. Can
someone provide feedback?
It is given that y = x + (1/x) and 0 < x < 10. Is it true that (A) y >
100, (B) y < 100, (C) y = 100, or (D) there is not enough information
to answer this question?
My contention is that (B) is true while ETS contends that (D) is the
case.
Thanks.
Peter
