Can you please provide source of this q?

aba=a

let a != 0

then ab= 1

but if a=0

then ab =0

same for stmt 2

combine and put non zero/zero value same discrepancy will come.
So, E

If we assume A and B not equal to zero then either statement is valid. But if this assumption is not provided in the question. The answer is E.

My answer is E.
