Statement1 (P+G)2/9 = J not sufficient
Statement2 (J+G)3/11=P not sufficient
Combining both we can have 3 equation to solve.
P+J+G=385
2P+2G=9J
2P+2G+2J=11J
J=70
3J+3G=11P
3J+3G+3P=14P
P=82.5
G=232.5
J=70
Jack received minimum amount

Given: A sum of $385 was divided among Jack, Pollock and Gibbs.
Asked: Who received the minimum amount?
(1) Jack received 2/9 of what Pollock and Gibbs together received.
j = 2/9(p+g) = 2/11 (j+p+g) = 2/11 * 385 = $70
NOT SUFFICIENT
(2) Pollock received 3/11 of what Jack and Gibbs together received
p=3/11(j+g) = 3/14 *(j+p+g) = 3/14 * 385 = 3 * 55/2 = $82.5
NOT SUFFICIENT
Combining (1) & (2) together
(1) Jack received 2/9 of what Pollock and Gibbs together received.
j = 2/9(p+g) = 2/11 (j+p+g) = 2/11 * 385 = $70
(2) Pollock received 3/11 of what Jack and Gibbs together received
p=3/11(j+g) = 3/14 *(j+p+g) = 3/14 * 385 = 3 * 55/2 = $82.5
Gibbs received = 385 - 70 - 82.5 = $232.5
Jack received the minimum amount = $ 70
SUFFICIENT
IMO C
