(1) a = b^2
(2) a^2 = b^4
OA A
my Only doubt.. isn't Statement I and Statement II the same
The two statements aren't identical, since for (2) a could be the negative root of a^2 and for (1) a is definitely non-negative.
For example, for statement (1) we could pick a=4 and b=2 (since 4 = 2^2).
For statement (2) we could pick those same numbers (since 4^2 = 2^4), but we could also pick a=-4 and b=2 (since (-4)^2 = 2^4).
Remember: when you have an even power in DS, think about the positive and negative solutions!
