I get D.

Average spent per student = $60
Total spent by 6 students = $60*6 = $360
X+Y = $360 - $300 =$60

1: sufficient
X = 2Y
X + Y = 3Y = $60
Y = $20
X = $40

2: sufficient

X = Y + $20
X + Y = Y + $20 + Y = 2Y + $20 = $60
Y = $20
X = $40

(1) X spent twice as much as Y spent on books.
(2) X spent $20 more than Y on books.

g = total spending by 4 girls
x= spending by X
y= spending by Y

x + y + g = 360
g = 300
x+y = 60

(1) alone suffiient

(2) alone sufficient
