Update one account owner

Hello team I have the following:  
public void mergeOwners()
        { 
            String a1;
            String a2;
            
            a1 = sGetOwnerOne;
            a2 = sGetOwnerTwo;
            
            Account src = [SELECT Owner.Id FROM Account where Name like :a1];
            Account dest = [SELECT Id, Owner.Id FROM Account where Name like :a2];
            dest.OwnerId = src.OwnerId;
            update dest;
           
        }

These variables are taken from a two different selectLists
  
public static String sGetOwnerOne{set;get;}
    	public static String sGetOwnerTwo{set;get;}

But at clicking the button in visual force the system shows me the following error:  
List has no rows for assignment to SObject
Does somebody know why this happens?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Rodolfo,

May be any of list is not returning any record, that's why it is throwing exception. Use the below code instead of the above two queries: 
List<Account> src = [SELECT Owner.Id FROM Account where Name like :a1];
List<Account> dest = [SELECT Id, Owner.Id FROM Account where Name like :a2];
For using these records, first check the size and then use the first index like below: 
Account acc = new Account();
if( src.size() > 0 )
   acc = src[0];
Let me know, if you need any other information.

Thanks,
Neetu
