Official Solution:

Is $$x=x^2$$?

Is $$x(x-1)=0$$? So, the question basically asks whether $$x=0$$ or $$x=1$$.

(1) $$x \ne 0$$. If $$x=1$$ then the answer is YES but if $$x$$ is any other number (except zero, which is ruled out) then the answer is NO. Not sufficient.

(2) $$x \gt 1$$. Both options ($$x=0$$ or $$x=1$$) are ruled out hence we know that $$x \ne x^2$$. Sufficient.

It is B - option one says nothing, just says not 0 so it could be 1 or anything else. 0^2 or 1^2 are x=x^2 , but the second option confirms that x =/= x^2. so B is sufficient.
