If ⊙ denotes a mathematical operation, does \(x⊙y = y⊙x\) for all x and y?

(1) For all x and y, \(x ⊙ y = 2(x^2 + y^2)\)

(2) For all y, \(0 ⊙ y = 2y^2\)

(1) For all x and y, \(x ⊙ y = 2(x^2 + y^2)\)

(2) For all y, \(0 ⊙ y = 2y^2\)



(1) since x and y can be interchanged
Sufficient

(2) if ⊙ denotes +
then
0 ⊙ y = 0 + 2y^2
x ⊙ y = x + 2y^2
Here x and y cannot be interchanged
but if
0 ⊙ y = 2*0^2 + 2y^2
x ⊙ y = 2*x^2 + 2y^2
Here x and y can be interchanged
Not Sufficient
