(1) a + b + ab = 0
(2) a - b = 0

Can some experts find the best Option in this?

OA E
Statement 1 - Case 1: a = 0 and b = 0. YES ab = 0
Case 2: a = -2 and b = -2. NO ab is not 0.
Not sufficient.

Statement 2: If a- b =0, then a = b. Notice that we can reuse both cases from statement 1, giving us a YES and a NO, both for statement 2 and together. Not sufficient.

The answer is E
