The symbol # represents one of addition, subtraction, multiplication or division. What is the value of \(\frac{1}{3}\) # \(\frac{1}{4}\)?
1) \(\frac{1}{6}\) # \(\frac{1}{7}\) = \(\frac{1}{42}\)
2) \(\frac{1}{5}\) # \(\frac{1}{4}\) = \(\frac{1}{20}\)

1) \(\frac{1}{6}\) # \(\frac{1}{7}\) = \(\frac{1}{42}\)
# can either represent multiplication or subtraction. In either case, the value of \(\frac{1}{3}\) # \(\frac{1}{4}\) is \(\frac{1}{12}\)
2) \(\frac{1}{5}\) # \(\frac{1}{4}\) = \(\frac{1}{20}\). Here # can only be multiplication. The value of \(\frac{1}{3}\) # \(\frac{1}{4}\) is \(\frac{1}{12}\).
Hence, the answer is D.

I don't think each statement alone is sufficient. The problem here is I statement could be true with either a subtraction sign or the multiplication sign while both second statements could be possible with just the multiplication sign so essentially both the statements doesn't help us in any respect.
Kindly help and suggest the rationale for same
