You can solve this problem with just reasoning but since you chose double-set matrix I'll proceed with it to show how it can be done. Given:

Numbers in black are given, numbers in red are calculated. We need to find the value of yellow box.
(1) The number of female residents of Town T age 60 or older is 30 percent of the number of female residents who are not 60 or older.

Not sufficient.
(2) 37 percent of the residents of Town T are males who are not 60 or older. 
Statement 2.PNG [ 4.46 KiB | Viewed 9109 times ]
Not sufficient.
(1)+(2)

We know x=15200, hence we can get 1.3x. Sufficient.
Answer: C.
Hope it helps.

Tough question. But i agree with bunuel.
To a closer look from 1 we have not informations about male; idem for the 2 where we have informations about male but not female.
C is correct.
