1 and 2 definitely not sufficient.
combining we get ,

A + B = C + D = E + F = (D – B)

=> C+D = D - B

=>. B+c = 0 SUFFICIENT (C)

What is the value of C + B?

(1) A + B = C + D = E + F
(2) (E + F) = (D – B)

Combining both

A + B = C + D = E + F = D – B

C+D = D - B

B+C = 0

IMO C

What is the value of C + B?

(1) A + B = C + D = E + F = K assume

As we have 3 equations and 6 variables, we cannot solve for C+B

(2) (E + F) = (D – B)

As we dont have attribute C in this equation, we cannot solve for C+B

S1+2 -> E+F = D-B = C+D -> B+C = 0

IMO C

Need C + B

Option 1: A + B = C + D = E + F
There is no information to find the value of the option C+B - Insufficient

Option 2:(E + F) = (D – B)
Same as above, there is no information about the value of the option C+B - Insufficient

Combining both the option (1) + (2)
Substitute E+F with (D-B)

C+D=D-B

C+D-D+B = 0
C+B = 0

Ans: C
