(1) The cube has a height of 3 inches.
(2) The circumference of the can is 2π.

Given, the same amount of tin (in square inches) used to make a cube with edge 3 inches is used to make a cylindrical can
Implies that surface area of cube with side length 3 inches=Total surface area of cylindrical can
Or, $$6*3^2=2\pi*r(r+h)$$
We require the value of radius of the cylindrical can in order to determine the value of height.

St1:- The cube has a height of 3 inches.
No information on height of cylindrical can.
Insufficient.

St2:- The circumference of the can is 2π.
Radius of the cylindrical can can be determined, 2πr=2π or, r=1
Sufficient.

Ans. (B)
