(1) A total of 92 of the clients have health insurance.
(2) Of the 120 clients, 28 do not have health insurance.

health insurance =H;
prescription drug =P;
no. of clients with only H= a
no. of clients with only P=c
no. of clients with both H and P=b

hence we have
a+b+c=120
a=40
hence
b +c=80

we need to find b.

1) A total of 92 of the clients have health insurance.

i.e. a+b=92
=> c=28
hence b=80-28=52

SUFFICIENT

2) Of the 120 clients, 28 do not have health insurance.
i.e. c=28
hence as above b is calculable.

SUFFICIENT

Hence D.

hope this helps..!!

(1) A total of 92 of the clients have health insurance --> we are told that 40+x=92 --> x=52. Sufficient.

(2) Of the 120 clients, 28 do not have health insurance --> we are told that blue area is 28, since there are total of 120 clients then 40+x+28=120 --> x=52. Sufficient.

Answer: D.

it's a very tricky one, especially if you try to solve these kind of problems with the matrix.
from the given information, we know that there are no such clients with neither HI nor PD.

let's assign some variables: with both - A, only PD - B, only HI - C
we know that A+B+C=120
and we know that C = 40
we can rewrite: A+B = 80
from this, we need to solve for A.

(1) A total of 92 of the clients have health insurance.
A+C = 92. knowing C, we can find A. - sufficient.
(2) Of the 120 clients, 28 do not have health insurance.
well, this one gives us value for B. again, we can find A. - sufficient.

D
