a. Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.b

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets talk about propositions in general. If you have the propositions "p,q" When we say that "p" is sufficient, that's an other way to say that,

p⇒q

Let me give you an other brief example, lets say you have the propositions "x,y", when we say that "x" is sufficient, that means that

x⇒y

IMPORTANT.

Notice that if I say that "p" is sufficient, that does not imply that "q" is sufficient, in other words, If I know that

p⇒q

NOT NECESARILLY

q⇒p

Lets work on the problem.

Step 1.

When you say that (1) is sufficient it means that

(1)⇒(2)

In other words

"If r = s = 1 then r – s is the least of the numbers"

That's true because, if r=s=1 , then, r+s = 2, r-s = 0, and r × s = 1, r/s = 1, so, in fact, r-s = 0 is the least of the numbers.

Step 2.

Notice that (2) is NOT sufficient.

(2) DOES NOT imply (1)

You just have to give a counter example.

For example r=s=2, r+s = 4, r × s = 4, r/s = 1 and r-s = 0, so, in fact, r-s is the least of the numbers, but is NOT true that r=s=1.
