the question asks if cost of apples > cost of pears
Number of apples * cost per one = cost of apples
Number of pears * cost per one = cost of pears
statment 1
cost of apples = (y+5)x , cost of pears = (x+5)y
The question became is (y+5)x>(x+5)y ie : is x>y and we have no clue from statment one alone.
Statment 2 is clear insuff
taking 1 and 2 together x>y
Answer is c

we def. need to know price of each and number of each purchased... or some kind of relationship b/w those
each st-t gives us 1/2 of what we need, so C or E must be the answer
since x=y+5 and y=x+5 and x>y -> answer must be C
