Statement 1: implies \(x*y=k^2\), for some integer \(k\). But from this we cannot calculate the value of \(k\). Insufficient
Statement 2: implies \(600\)%\(*x=200\)%\(*y =>y=3x\).
but we don't know the value of \(x\), hence \(y\) cannot be calculated. Insufficient
Combining 1 & 2: we cannot get the value of \(x\), hence the value of \(y\). Insufficient

Statement 1: -
the statement says \(xy = integer^2\)
If x is 2 and y is 2, then xy = 4
But if x is 28 and y is 7, then xy = 196
Clearly we can have multiple values of y, hence INSUFFICIENT
Statement 2: -
\(600/100*x\) = \(200/100*y\)
\(3x=y\)
clearly, we can have multiple values of y, hence INSUFFICIENT
Combining statement 1 and statement 2
\(3x^2 = integer^2\)
Now if x is 3, then \(3^3 = integer^2\) ---> which is not possible
if x is \(3^2\), then \(3^5 = integer^2\) ---> which is not possible
Therefore x has to be \(\sqrt{3}\) and y is \(3*\sqrt{3}\)
Answer is C. SUFFICIENT
