Stat 1: Insufficient. 8P = 8A+80

Stat 2: Insufficient. 10A = 8P+20

solve both 8P = 8A+80
10A = 8P+20...sufficient to get A and P.

IMO option C.

OA please...will correct if I missed anything.

Any change to get the right answer for this one?

Struggling a bit since:

(1) Not sufficient alone, you only know how much more each pears cost but not the price.
(2) Same but for apples.

But together the two equations make no sense? So wouldn't it be E then?

Question: If all apples at a certain grocery store are equally priced, and all pears at the same grocery store are equally priced, what is the price of a pear?
P.S: The statements or question doesn't talk about VARIETY of apples or pears, and so the stricken off info isn't necessary.

APPLE=A; PEAR=P
P=?

1) 8P=80+8A => P=A+10 => insufficient as we don't know A.
2) 10A=20+8P => A=10+0.8P => insufficinet as we still don't know A.

1) & 2) => P=10+0.8P+10 => P=100

Hence C :D
