Answer is E
A + B = C --- Equation 1
From Statement 1: B = 1.35A. Substituting value of B in Equation 1 you will get 2.35A = C If C is a number ending with a 0 or 5 then A would change between Odd and Even.
2 values Not sufficient. BCE
From Statement 2 you could have multiple values of A. B = 1.33A and
C = 2.33A. Again Multiple values. Therefore insufficient.

what is the source of this crap question?
answer should be C because it has an infeasible solution.. here goes...
from 1) B=1.35A
from 2) B = A+33 (not 1.33A)
taken together -
0.35A=33
hence it is possible to compute A (so should be sufficient, answer C)
but the answer for A is illogical for the question.... according to the equations A=94.2
but A and B were given some candies, so the number should be positive integer not a fraction. this fact is also implied by the stem question... you can't speak of odd/even numbers for non-integers.
in gmat there are no questions with illogical solutions that don't follow a common sense interpretation.
