Number of people with patio = 48
Both = 10 
Only Patio = 38 .
Only Swimming pool ? cant say

Stmnt 2 
Both = 10 , Neither = 10 
Only Swimming pool ? cant say

Combining:

Only patio = 38
Both = 10 
Only Swimming pool= x
Neither = 10 
Total = 75

38 + 10 + x + 10 = 75.

1st insuff
2nd suff

P+S-both+neither=75
what is S?
since both=neither
48+S-both+both=75
S=75-48=27

johnrb · Answer

Watch out--it's not asking for the number with  only  swimming pools, just for the number with swimming pools (and possibly patios). It's B, by Irina's reasoning.

rainbow · Answer

B.... 2nd is sufficient

Patio+ SP - both + neither = 75
As Both=neither; Patio+ SP = 75
Patio is given = 48; SP = 27
