Statement 1=> k@l is not equal ti I@k for some number k.
$$So,\ if\ @=+,\ then\ k@1\ is\ equal\ to\ 1@k$$
$$So,\ if\ @=x,\ then\ k@1\ is\ equal\ to\ 1@k$$
For k@1 not to be equal to 1@k, that means @=k.
If @ is a subtraction (-), the K-(l+m) is not equal to (k-l) + (k-m). Hence, statement 1 is SUFFICIENT.

Statement 2=> @ represents subtraction
For all value of k, l, and m, k-(l+m) not equal to (k-l) + (k-m).
So, therefore, Statement 2 is SUFFICIENT.

In conclusion, both statement 1 and 2 are sufficient; thereby validating option D as the correct answer.

Thanks.
