price of each trousers & shirt - \(t\), \(s\)
quantity of each trousers & shirt - \(x\), \(y\)
\(tx+sy=149\)
quantity x > price of pair of trousers, t
\(x>2t\), \(\frac{x}{2}>t\)
Statement 1: Mary Inklewood's total sales on the identical shirts was 135 shillings
\(sy=135\)
\(tx=149-135=14\)
\(\frac{x}{2}*x>14\)
\(x^2>28\)
\(x>5\)
NOT SUFFICIENT
or in simple way: \(tx=14\), quantity must be an positive integer. Than \(x\) is either \(7\) or \(14\)
Statement 2: Mary Inklewood's total sales on the identical trousers was 14 shillings.
\(tx=14\)
same as statement 1
NOT SUFFICIENT

(1) Mary Inklewood's total sales on the identical shirts was 135 shillings
From this one can workout that the total sales on identical trousers was 14 shillings. Without more information it is impossible to know the exact number of trousers she sold, all one can deduce is that she sold more than 14 trousers.
INSUFFICIENT
(2) Mary Inklewood's total sales on the identical trousers was 14 shillings.
Provides the same info as statement 1, but in reverse.
INSUFFICIENT
(1+2)
Putting the two statements together is of no use as they provide the same info. All one can say for certainty is that she sold more than 14 trousers.
