If·represents one of the operations +, –, and ×, is k.(l+m)=k.l+k.m for all numbers k,l and m?
(1) k·1 is not equal to 1·k for some numbers k.
(2) ·represents subtraction

Please explain?

Both refer to subtraction.
If k, l , m = 0 then the result is true.
But for anything else it is not.

hence E.

(1) k·1 is not equal to 1·k for some numbers k.
(2) ·represents subtraction

(1) if k.1 not = 1.k, then the function can only be -
Then for any #, k.(l+m)=k.l+k.m is not true
Except for k=l=m=0, where it is true.
Not sufficient

(2) Not sufficient

Hence E
