I. x+y=36
II. x=2y
Option A:

Option B:
Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient to answer the question asked.

Difficulty Level
HardSolution
Option B is the correct answer.
Option Analysis
This is a simple weighted average question, and if we knew the ratio of x to y it would be sufficient to answer the question
Statement I is insufficient: x+y=36. Not sufficient.
Statement II is sufficient: x=2y. Hence we know the ratio. So Sufficient
