Problem-
1.we only have I recorded instance of God’s command not to touch the tree of knowledge. This was given to Adam only (Eve was not created). Therefore the question is raised, how did Eve know. Either Adam told her or God told her.

That’s right. We only have 1 recorded instance of God’s command not to TOUCH the tree of knowledge. And that record is the woman’s testimony.
Why would Adam tell her that she can eat from trees in the garden, when God told them both that they could eat from all the trees on the face of the earth? Why would Adam tell her that she could not eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil when God gave them both permission to eat from all trees (that had fruit with seed) which would have excluded the prohibited tree since the prohibition given to Adam when he was alone cannot contradict the permission (fruit with seed) they were both given to eat?

God couldn’t prohibit Adam from eating of one tree in the garden only to turn around later after the woman was created and give him (and her) permission to eat from all trees on the face of the earth that had seed without contradiction unless the prohibited tree had no seed.

How did the woman know what? How did the woman know what she could eat? She knew because God told her while she was with Adam what she could eat. How did she know what she couldn’t eat? She was only given permission to eat from trees on the face of the earth (which includes the garden) that had fruit WITH seed. How did she know what God prohibited her (and him) from eating? She said what God said.

but God did say, ‘You (plural) must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you (plural) must not touch it, or you (plural) will die.’ ”
