2) If the museum acquires 4 more paintings and 2 more sculptures, then the number of photographs will be 1/6 the number of paintings and sculptures combined.
Paintings -259
Sculptures -11
1) (259+6)+11=6 times Photographs = 6x => 276 => x= 46. SUFFICE
2) (259+4)+(11+2) =6x => x=46. SUFFICE
Hence answer should be D. Each one suffices

IMO:D
Let's take photographs=p
1) If the museum acquires 6 more paintings, then the number of paintings and sculptures combined will be 6 times the number of photographs.
So, 259+6+11=276
276=6(p)
1 IS SUFFICIENT
2) If the museum acquires 4 more paintings and 2 more sculptures, then the number of photographs will be 1/6 the number of paintings and sculptures combined.
269+4+11+2=263
1/6(263)=p
2 IS SUFFIEICENT
ANSWER:D
Let's take photographs=p
1) If the museum acquires 6 more paintings, then the number of paintings and sculptures combined will be 6 times the number of photographs.
So, 259+6+11=276
276=6(p)
1 IS SUFFICIENT
2) If the museum acquires 4 more paintings and 2 more sculptures, then the number of photographs will be 1/6 the number of paintings and sculptures combined.
269+4+11+2=263
1/6(263)=p
2 IS SUFFIEICENT
ANSWER:D
