Official Solution:
At an animal shelter, each cat and each dog received exactly one treat: either Treat A or Treat B. 84 of the cats received Treat A, and 48 of the dogs received Treat B. How many of the animals received Treat A?
(1) 60% of the cats received Treat A.
This gives \(0.6C = 84\), so \(C = 140\). Hence, 84 cats received Treat A, and the remaining 140 - 84 = 56 cats received Treat B. From this we can deduce that 56 (cats) + 48 (dogs) = 104 of the animals received Treat B. However, the number of dogs receiving Treat A is not known. Not sufficient.
(2) 60% of the dogs received Treat B.
This gives \(0.6D = 48\), so \(D = 80\). Hence, 48 dogs received Treat B, and the remaining 80 - 48 = 32 dogs received Treat A. Therefore, a total of 84 (cats) + 32 (dogs) = 116 of the animals received Treat A. Sufficient.

Given that all animals ( cat or dog)in the shelter, either receives Treat A or Treat B.
| Treat A | Treat B | Total | |
| CAT | 84 | x | |
| DOG | Y | 48 | |
| Total |
We need to find how many animals received Treat A? 84+Y =?
Statement 1:
(1) 60% of the cats received Treat A.
60% of cats = 84
100% of cat = (84*100)/60 = 140.
cats = Treat A + Treat B = 84 + x = 140. Thus x = 56
This statement is not Suffcient to find Y. Hence, Insufficient
Statement 2:
(2) 60% of the dogs received Treat B.
60% of dog = 48
Y = 40% of dog = ?
Y = (40*48) / 60
Y = 32
we need to find : 84+Y = 84+32 = 116.
Option B is Sufficient.
