The table lists five states and their total 2012 revenue, in millions of USD, from tourism – a category that includes hotel stays.
Which of these states earned the most, in 2012, from hotel stays?
(1) For each of the two states with the highest revenue from tourism, earnings from hotel stays were more than 15% of that state's total revenue from tourism.
(2) For each of the three states with the lowest revenue from tourism, earnings from hotel stays were less than 10% of that state's total revenue from tourism.

The states that earn the most in 2012 from hotel stays =?
Statement 1:
For each of the two states with the highest revenue from tourism, earnings from hotel stays were more than 15% of that state's total revenue from tourism.
More than 15% of the total revenue for the top two states, can be any value from 16% to 100%.
Nothing concrete or conclusive can be found out.
Hence, Insufficient.
Statement 2:
For each of the three states with the lowest revenue from tourism, earnings from hotel stays were less than 10% of that state's total revenue from tourism.
If the lowest three states are taken into consideration, this leaves us with top two states, whose percentage of revenue from hotels can be any value.
Hence, Insufficient.
Combining both the states,
A larger revenue of more than 15% from the two states, provides us with a wide band.
Hence, Insufficient.
Option E

Explanation:
The table shows the revenue from tourism for five states.
The earnings from hotel stays for each of the five states are unknown.
We need to find whether the state with the highest earnings from hotel stays can be determined.
Statement (1)
The two states with the highest revenue from tourism are state A and state B.
Earnings from hotel stays for state A > 0.15 x 250
Earnings from hotel stays for state B > 0.15 x 300
The earnings from hotel stays for either state A or state B could be higher based on the given condition.
It is NOT possible to determine the state with the highest earnings from hotel stays. Hence, Statement (1) is insufficient.
Statement (2)
The three states with the lowest revenue from tourism are state C, state D, and state E.
Earnings from hotel stays for state C < 0.1 x 150
Earnings from hotel stays for state D < 0.1 x 100
Earnings from hotel stays for state E < 0.1 x 200
Since no information is provided regarding two of the states with the highest revenue, it is NOT possible to determine the state with the highest earnings from hotel stays. Hence, Statement (2) is insufficient.
As Statement (1) alone as well as Statement (2) alone is insufficient to answer the question, we need to now combine the two statements.
Statement (1) and Statement (2) combined
The two statements combined give us no additional information about the earnings from hotel stays for either state A or state B.
It is NOT possible to determine the state with the highest earnings from hotel stays. Hence, Statement (1) and Statement (2) combined are insufficient.
E is the correct answer choice.
