The answer is D in the sense that both statement 1 and statement 2 give an answer, however this is an erroneous question because the statements contradict each other by giving different numbers for how many students are in the class. Statement 1 says there are 50 kids(.3T = 15) in the class while statement 2 says there are 200 kids in the class(.7T = 140). Check to make sure the given numbers are correct.

We can do this via a other method also

Lets calculate common part
Number below are in percentage
A for glasses
B for short height


Total-Neither=A+B -acommon b
100-10=50+60- a common b
Acommonb=20

Means Only A=40
Only B=30
Common a b=20

1) 15 corresponds to 30 percent of total i.e
Only B
So total is known
Sufficient

2) 140 correspond to only a and only b i.e. 70 percent of total means total is 200
Sufficient

D is answer

Give kudos if it helps
