请问是否有"The X and Y" is singular, whereas "the X and the Y" is plural.

For example,
The CEO and chairman is in the office today.
Means: one person holding both the positions. Thus, this sentence warrents singular verb.

On the other hand,
The CEO and the chairman are in the office today.
Means: there are two people in the office. Therefore, this sentence
warrents plural verb.

介词一般不做考点的，有见过如果是两个不同的事物之前分别加介词的情况，如果两个事物是一个主体那就只加一个介词。。不知道说清楚没。。。

我想问的是这样the A and B,谓语是单数。the A and the B谓语是单数有这样的说法吗？
