What is the value of x + y in the figure above?

Sum of Interior Angles of a polygon is 180(n-2) where n is the number of sides (so is the number of angles). So, the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 180*2=360. Look at the diagram below:

According to the above: (180-x)+(180-y)+(180-z)+(180-w)=360 --> x+y=360-w-z, so all we need to know is the values of w and z.

(1) w= 95. Not sufficient.
(2) z = 125. Not sufficient.

(1)+(2) Sufficient.

Answer: C.
