Won't it be C ?

When we combine we get an exact value right ?

As per statement one : S2 = 10 + S1
As per statement two : S1 + S2 = 80

Therefore when we combine, S1 + S1 + 10 = 80 and we get S1 = 35, which means S2 = 45

There are two major statues in Tasmanian County; the first is no more than 45 meters high. How tall is the second statue?

(1) The second statue is 10 meters higher than the first statue.
(2) Both statues together are 80 meters high.


­
Let the heights of the two statues be H1 and H2 respectively.

H1 <= 45 metres. We need to find H2?

Statement 1:

(1) The second statue is 10 meters higher than the first statue.

H2 = H1 + 10

The max value H2 can take is 45+10 = 55 metres.

Hence, no unique value. insufficient.

Statement 2:

(2) Both statues together are 80 meters high.

H1 + H2 = 80

Both the variables can take any combination of values.

Hence, no unique value. insufficient.

Combining both statements 1 and 2, we get

H1 + H2 = 80

H1 + 10 + H1 = 80

2H1 = 70

H1 = 35 , then H2 = 10+35 = 45

Hence, Sufficient

Option C
