1. Five pies are placed in the display case.
2. Each type of pie is represented in the display case.

The question doesn't make sense. What constitutes an "arrangement" of pies? Are we putting the pies in a row, or could we stack pies on top of each other, or could we put them in one row of two pies and another row of three?
Using both Statements, we know we have five pies, one of each type. With that information, I still have no way to give a unique numerical answer to the question since I don't know what an arrangement "of the pies in a display case" is. When a DS question asks for a value of something, information is only sufficient if you can use it to find a unique numerical answer to the question. I don't see how we can possibly do that here, so that suggests the answer should be E, but we also don't have any mystery about how many pies and what type of pies we're using, with both Statements, so that argues for answer C.
There are two logically justifiable answers here. You can never see a question like this on the GMAT.
