Is there a way we can rule out statement 1.?
2/x + 2/y = 3
2x + 2y / xy = 3
x + y / xy = 3/2
Doesn't this imply that xy=2 as this is the only combination that fits in the above equation. Not sure if I am missing something here.

You are assuming that x and y are integers, which is not given here. For non-integer solutions xy is not 2.
