This question reminded me of classic percentage-absolute numbers trap that we do in CR.
(1) Alex received a 12% raise.
Insufficient due to two reasons: We don't know the current salary of Alex as well as of Scott. Also, we don't know the raise of Scott's salary.
(2) After his 3% raise Scott's salary was $92,000.
Insufficient: We don't know the current salary and raise of Alex.
Together (1) and (2),
Still Insufficient as we don't know the current salary of Alex.
Hence, (E) is the answer.
(1) Alex received a 12% raise.

Statement Analysis
Statement (1): Alex received a 12% raise
Combining Both Statements
Statement (1): Alex received a 12% raise
- I know the percentage, but not Alex's original salary
- Without knowing Alex's base salary, we can't calculate his raise
- Insufficient
- Scott's new salary = $92,000
- Scott's original salary = $92,000 ÷ 1.03, we will get the Scott's salary
- We can calculate Scott's raise but nothing about Alex
- Insufficient
Combining Both Statements
- From (1): Alex got a 12% raise, But we still don’t know Alex’s salary, so we can’t find the raise amount.
- From (2): we know Scott’s raise amount
- Since we can’t calculate Alex’s raise, we still can’t compare.
- → Still not sufficient.
