- {0, 0, 0} ---> All numbers are equal to zero
{0, 0, 1} ---> All numbers are not equal to zero
Statement 2: Let us take a general case for three numbers a, b, and c.
Hence, (a + b) = 0, (b + c) = 0, and (a + c) = 0
Solving the above three equations, a = b = c = 0, i.e. all numbers are equal to zero.
This can be extended for any number of numbers.
Sufficient
The correct answer is B.
