OPTION E IS THE ANSWER
Reasons:-
Both the statement are giving the same clue..
Figures in Statement 2 are just the double of the figures in statement 1...

So can not arrive at any answer....

Soln:

Let the cost of veggie pizza be V and that of meat pizza be M.

From (1)

(1) Tim bought 1 meat pizza and one vegetarian pizza for $18.80.

V + M = 18.80

NOT SUFFICIENT

From (2)

(2) Alex bought 2 meat pizzas and 2 vegetarian pizzas for $37.60.

2V + 2M = 37.60 ...... which can further be reduced to... V + M = 18.80

The same equation as (1)..... NOT SUFFICIENT

(1) and (2) combined.....again you have 2 unknowns and only 1 equation...hence NOT SUFFICIENT

(1) Tim bought 1 meat pizza and one vegetarian pizza for $18.80.
(2) Alex bought 2 meat pizzas and 2 vegetarian pizzas for $37.60.

m=cost of a meat pizza
v=cost of a vegetable pizza

Equation 1: m+ v=18.80
Equation 2; 2m + 2v= 37.60 --> m + v=18.80 , which is same as equation 1.
There are two unknowns and we have only one equation. Both the statements are insufficient.

Hence the answer is E.
