statement 1 : n is divisible by the square of the prime number y.

y can be 2,3,5 or 7. so n can be a multiple of 4,9,25 or 49. No definite answer

statement 2 : y^4 is a two-digit odd integer

statement is clearly insufficient

1 + 2 combined,

only y=3 can satisfy both conditions. so n is a multiple of 9 and n<99
Therefore n could be 9,18,27,36,45.....90
sum of digits for all the possibilities is 9. so combined statements are sufficient.

Ans- C
