Machine X rate = \(\frac{1}{X}\)
Machine Y rate = \(\frac{1}{Y}\)
Combined rate = \(\frac{X+Y}{XY}\)
Combined time taken = \(\frac{XY }{ X+Y}\)
(1) Tells us that \(\frac{XY }{ X+Y} = \frac{2X}{3}\)
This tells us \(2X = Y\); INSUFFICIENT.
(2) This statement tells us that \(2X = Y\); INSUFFICIENT.
(1&2) Each statement tells us the same information; INSUFFICIENT.
Answer is E.

Hi Bunuel,
Thank you for the detailed explanation. I got the y=2x for 1) and 2) , so I thought those both are sufficient and chose D(or may be I chose C which is definitely wrong). I should have tried to apply y=2x in xy/(x+y) = x*(2/3), then I would have known it is not sufficient and must have chosen E. But thank you for the explanations, now I know why my answer is wrong and why E is the right answer.
