What are the angles of triangle XYZ?

(1) One of the interior angles of the triangle is 120°.

(2) One of the exterior angles of the triangle is 165°.

Shouldnt it be (B) since exterior angle is equal to sum of interior opposite angles??

1) one of the interior angles = 120..
Other two can be any combination totalling 60, so 10 & 50 or 20 & 40
Insufficient

2) one of exterior angles =165
So one of the angle will be 180-165=15
Other two can be any combination totalling 165
Insufficient

Combined
Two angles are 15 , 120 and 180-(15+120)=45
Sufficient

C

The second statement can be interpreted as: One of the exterior interior angles of the triangle is 165° $$180 - 165 =15°$$

Both statements alone are insufficient as they give no information about the other 2 angles.
Together they specify 2 angles of a triangle and we can easily find the 3rd. So C
