Malvika's special dish requires one and a half bowls of noodles to make 4 servings. How many bowls of noodles will Malvika need next Saturday?
(1) Next Saturday, Malvika will prepare half the number of servings that she prepared earlier today.
(2) Earlier today, Malvika used a half dozen bowls of noodles to prepare her dish.
Statement 1It is not known, what Malvika prepared earlier that day. So Insufficient.
Statement 2No information about next Saturday preparation available. So Insufficient.
Combining Statements 1 & 2Next Saturday, Malvika will prepare half the number of servings that she prepared earlier. Earlier Malvika used 6 bowls of noodles to prepare her dish; Which means she prepared 24 servings. On Saturday she will prepare 12 servings. We can get the number of bowls. (It will be 4.5 bowls)

As soon as we combine we can say that
Option (C) is correct answer.
