Fees for an order of n books = P + nS ; P = processing fees, S = shipping fees per book
Jan : P + S
Feb : P + 2S
Mar : P + 3S
Apr : P + 4S
May : P + 5S
St. 1:
P + 3S - P - S = 1
=> 2S = 1
=> S = 1/2
Cannot determine P from it.
=> St. 1 is insufficient.
St. 2:
S + 2S + 3S + 4S + 5S = 7.5
=> 15S = 7.5
=> S = 1/2
Cannot determine P from it.
=> St. 2 is insufficient.
St. 1 and St. 2 :
We get S = 1/2
Cannot determine P from it.
=> St. 1 and St. 2 together are insufficient.

Rajeev placed five different orders with this bookseller - an order for 1 book in January, an order for 2 books in February, an order for 3 books in March, an order for 4 books in April, and an order for 5 books in May. What was the total of Rajeev's processing and shipping fee for these five orders?
Solution:
(1) Rajeev's processing and shipping fees were $1 more for his order in March than for his order in January
Cost for 1 book = X(Processing+Shipping fees)
Cost for 3 books = X+1 (Processing+Shipping fees)
Cost of shipping 2 additional books = 1
But what's processing cost? (Insufficient)
(2) The total of Rajeev's shipping fees for the five orders was $7.50
No information regarding processing cost! (Insufficient)
Statement 1&2: No parameter given to determine the processing cost. (Insufficient)
IMO E
