(l) He spent $18 during the year on tennis balls. - NS - as, the tennis ball spending is not specifically mentioned at the pie chart . And on the other hand, logically, this piece can potentially go to various categories.... e.g.,gift/other/hobby/recreation.
(2) He spent $190 during the year on recreation. - Sufficient - ==> 20% is 190. We need to determine what $value represents 26%.
Thus Ans B

Stmt 1: Tennis is not mentioned as a category. It might be in others or recreation. But, still Insuff. Eliminate A,D
Stmt 2: 20% of total = 190, question asks to find 26% of total, which can be calculated. Sufficient.
Option B

Statement 1 simply gives information about Tennis balls whose %age is not explicitly known from the pie chart. Hence this is INSUFFICIENT
Statement 2 gives information about recreation. We know what percent of total income was spent on recreation and hence can find the total income. Now it is easy to find the amount spent on clothing(26% of total income). hence statement 2 is SUFFICIENT
Hence the answer is B
