In order to answer the question, we must compare w and y.
(1) INSUFFICIENT: This provides no information about y.
(2) INSUFFICIENT: This provides no information about w.
(1) AND (2) INSUFFICIENT: Looking at both statements together, it is possible that w could be less than y. For example w could be 1.305 and y could be 100. It is also possible that w could be greater than y. For example, w could be 1.310 and y could be 1.305. Thus, it is not possible to determine definitively whether w is less than y.
The correct answer is E.
