You hold, trumps, A765 opposite Q842, needing one loser only. You lead low to the Ace: 2 10 A 3, then back toward the Q: 5 9 ?.
If you had the nine, rather than the opponents, restricted choice says DUCK. But restricted choice has reared itself a second time as LHO might have played either the 9 or J holding both.
Does one RC cancel the other?
This position arose today in a teams event.
