It's straight E. We don't know the change in gross domestic product from 1985 to 1994.

Answer: E.

Does this make sense?

This is a 2-by-2 question that frequently appears in the GMAT Math.
There are 4 variables (a, b, c and d) in the original condition and the question. In order match the number of variables to the number of equations, we need 4 equations. Since the condition 1) and the condition 2) each has 1 equation, there is high chance that E is the correct answer. In fact, using both the condition 1) and the condition 2), the correct answer is E.

Solution:

For figuring out the percentage change, we would need the trade values of 1985 and 1994.

St(1):- Total United States trade in 1985 was 17 percent of gross domestic product in 1985

No information provided or inferred on trade values (Insufficient)

St(2):-Total United States trade in 1994 was 23 percent of gross domestic product in 1994

No information provided or inferred on trade values (Insufficient)

On combining both,
We still have no information on trade values (option e)
