Statement (1): Golden Retriever only = 300
Equation: 300 + B + x = 850
Missing B or x → Insufficient

Statement (2): Bernard only = 280
Equation: 280 + G + x = 850
Missing G or x → Insufficient

Both together:
300 + 280 + x = 850 → x = 270 → Sufficient

Answer: (C)

Given:
Total villagers = 850
Only Golden Retriever owners = 300
Only Bernard owners = 280

Using the formula:
Only G + Only B + Both = Total

300 + 280 + Both = 850

Solving for Both:
Both = 850 - (300 + 280) = 270

Answer: 270 villagers own both breeds.

Final Answer: (C) Both statements together are sufficient, but neither alone.
