(1) x + y = 3xy

(2) x = y

Algebra problems are not necessarily "find the value of an expression" or "solve for x...". Concentrate on what the problem is asking for.

This problem is not asking for the value of the expression. It is asking whether (2/x + 2/y) is equal to 6 or not. Therefore, we need to see that whether the given statements are sufficient to establish such relation between x and y or not.

Statement 1: (x + y) = 3xy
=> (x + y)/(xy) = 3
=> (1/x + 1/y) = 3
=> 2*(1/x + 1/y) = 6
=> (2/x + 2/y) = 6

Sufficient

Statement 2: x = y
This information doesn't allow us to establish any such relation between x and y.
For example, take x = y = 1 => (2/x + 2/y) = 4 ≠ 6
For example, take x = y = 2/3 => (2/x + 2/y) = 6

Not sufficient

The correct answer is A.
