Statement 1: c is greater than d and a but less than b
As no information is given about e, it could be anywhere, including the middle number or not
=> It is not certain that d will be the middle number
=> Insufficient
Statement 2: a is less than b but greater than d and e
As no information is given about c, it could be anywhere, including the middle number or not
=> It is not certain that d will be the middle number
=> Insufficient
However, by combining both the statements, the only possible (descending) orders are bcade and bcaed. In both, a is the middle number
=> d is not the middle number
=> sufficient
Thus, the answer is (C).
