(1) Not Sufficient.
(2) Suppose:
Students took both subjects = x
then students took math = 2x
therefore students took science = 6x

Now, total number of students = students took math + students took science - students took both = 350
2x + 6x - x = 350
=> x = 50

Sufficient. Hence B

This question asks us to find how many of the 350 students at Glendale High School took math; in order to solve this question it necessary to know it some students took neither, both, or perhaps only one or the other- in knowing the answers to those questions we can apply set theory.

Statement (1) tells us the all students must take math, science or both- therefore there are three categories and no student can take neither. Yet we have no restrictions such as twice as many students took math therefore there are infinite possibilities. Insufficient.

Statement (2) tells us the relative frequency of students taking math, science, or both; however, again, if we do not know that no student can take neither then there are infinite possibilities ( e.x 60 students could be taking science, 20 could be taking math, 10 could be taking both and the rest could be taking neither. Insufficient.

Statement (1) and Statement (2) allows us to synthesize restrictions and are therefore sufficient together.
