(1) 3*2>3 and 3+2 >3
When you substitute * for the operation you get 48 = 48 = True
When you substitute + for the operation you get 12 = 12 = True
These are both true. They are consistent with each other. So, (1) is sufficient.
(2) 3*1 = 3 and 3/1 = 3
When you substitute * for the operation you get 48 = 48 = True
When you substitute / for the operation you get 3/4 = 12 = False
One is True and one is False. They are inconsistent with each other. So, (2) is not sufficient.
