Without looking at the 2 statements we can notice, first, that the question is asking whether

z is divisible by 5: 5*(x + y)/5 + z/5.

1) does not help us solve this problem because we already know that, regardless of (x+y) being divisible by 5, that 5*(x+5) yields an integer.

2) answers our question that z contains a factor of 5. Sufficient

Analyze the question stem

For any number to be divisible by 5, the units digit have to be 0 or 5
Here, 5(x+y)+z= should give the resultant with units digit 0 or 5 (to be divisible by 5)
5*any value should give units digit 0 or 5. So we know the units digit of 5(x+y) is 0 or 5
So we just have to figure out the units digit of z

Statement 2 exactly gives us that input

Answer: B
