IMO (A)
(1) Darren and Matthew scored 70 and 75 respectively and their scores were within one standard deviation from the mean.
If 70 and 75 lies on side of mean i.e. right or left to mean then defnately 72 will lie within one standard deviation.
Even if 70 and 75 lie within opposite side of mean, then 72 lie within one standard devation of mean.
Hence sufficient
(2) The mean score of 20 students was 65 and Andrew who scored 59 was within one standard deviation of the mean.
If 59 is on the extreme left then standard devation is close to 6 then 72 lie ouside one standard devation,
if 59 lie exactly middle of left side then standard devation is close to 12, then 72 lie within one standard devation. Hence insufficient
