1- We can find the Sun of first 2 numbers and deduct it with the total sum to find the AM of last 3 numbers
2- We can use the equation AM of first two numbers is 1/4 AM of last three numbers.

Therefore both statements are sufficient.

For statement 2, how did you figure out that a+b=10?

We cannot figure out a+b=10 from the 2nd statement.

for #2

given
(a+b)/2 = 1/4 * ( c+d+e)/3
which we can write as
6*(a+b) = c+d+e--(1)

we know that
a+b+c+d+e =70
so c+d+e = 70-a-b
substitute this in (1)
we get
6a+6b= 70-a-b
or say
7(a+b) = 70
a+b=10
therefore c+d+e = 60
hope this helps
