Both statements are required here, as statement 1 gives us an equation that can be used to find out a variable.
2nd statement gives us the relationship between the two unknown variables. We can deduce the value of the unknown variable from these two statements.
Hence, we need both the statements in order to reach a definitive answer.

What is given : A+B+C = 1500
What is needed: C = ?
In order to find C, we need either A+B or A & B individually or Any relation to convert A & B into C so that we will have one equation and one variable.
St1: A = 140 / 100 ( B+C) =1.4 (B+C).
Here A can be converted into B & C but we want only one variable because we have only one equation.
Insufficient. Rule A & D options.
St2: B = 75/100 less than C = 25% of C = 0.25 C.
No information about A. So, Insufficient. Rule out option B
Option C: A can be expressed in terms of B & C as per St:1.
B can be expressed in term of C. So, together A & B both can be expressed as C.
One variable , One equation. A+B+C =(1.4B + 1.4C + 0.25C +C = 1.4 x 0.25C +1.4C +0.25C)...Sufficient
Hence, C is the answer.
