We have three items - carrots - C, Brussel sprouts - B, and celery sticks - S...And we have to find the ratio of C:S
(I) C=B...Nothing about S
(II) B=3S....Nothing about C.
Combined..
C=B=3S, so C:S = 3S:S=3:1

# of Carrots = Ca
# of Brussel sprouts= B
# of Celery = Ce
we need to find Ca: Ce=?
Statement 1) Ca=B. No info about Ce. Clearly Insufficient. Strike off A and D
Statement 2) B=3*Ce . No info about Ca. Clearly Insufficient. Strike off B
St 1 + St 2) Ca=B=3Ce . Ca:Ce= 1:3 . Sufficient. Hence C is correct
