Statement one is sufficient. Given the other two angles are parallel, they must also be parallel.

Statement two is insufficient. Various combinations result in 180 (90/90, 120/60, 130/50....)

I think this is D.

Both statements are properties of a ||gram.

I) sufficient
In quadrilaterals like square, rectangle, pralleogram and rhombus the angels that see eachother are equal. So both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.

II) sufficient
Again the same quadrilaterals have an angle of 180 with the two neighbouring angles and the opposite sides are parallel.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

I just wanna put forward a case as illustrated in the attachment:
( when we say CD, does it necessarily mean that C is left to D?)

Me too for D. I think we should not consider the case when C is to the left of D.

Great question Laxie.

But I hope GMAT Gods think like you do.

Earlier I forced myself to think of a parallelogram inspite of actually drawing the way you did.

What is the source of this question?

D.

In the the figure drawn ( by laxieqv) where AC and BD cross each other means, C is left to D; does not satisfy stat 2 beacuse angle CAB +angle ABD CAN NOT BE 180.

For stat 2 to be correct (angles CAB + ABD) =180, the line AC and BD must be parellel and C must be left to D.

therefore D is correct IMHO.
