(2) The average of the final exam scores of students in sections J and K was 78.
Satement1->(F+G+H)/3=72
hence F+G+H=216.
We don't have any information about J and K. So insufficient
Statement2->J+K=156. so this statement is also insufficient.
Both the statements to combine is sufficient and hence answere is C.

Cheers!

sections ?
(1) The average of the final exam scores of students in sections F, G, and H was 72.
(2) The average of the final exam scores of students in sections J and K was 78.
Statement1: Total scores of section F,G and H are = 72*3 = 216
No clue for the average score for the all students. So INSUFF
Statement2: Total scores of section J and K are = 78*2 = 156
No clue for the average score for the all students. So INSUFF
Putting them together:
Total scores of the students in all five sections = 216+156=372
The average score of the all students in all sections = total scores od all students/ Total number od students in all sections
Here total number od students in all sections is not known.
So INSUFF
Hence Answer is 'E'

Answe is E:
avg score = total score/total nos of students.
Since the information for "total score" or "total nos of students" cannot be obtained from the individual statements or after combining them, the given information is not sufficeint and henc eE

Looking at the statments, we need E. Both lacks the final piece of clue - # of students. No need for more workings.
