    Aboard at LA = (Aboard at NY) - (deplaned at Chicago) + (1st Boarding at Chicago);

    149 = 170 - 23 + 1st Boarding at Chicago;

    1st Boarding at Chicago = 2. ans C.

    Obviously S1 is not sufficient

    S2 also does no specify how many boarded Chicago but the combination facilitates the solution of eqn 170-23+x = 149, where x is no of passengers who boarded Chicago.

    Consider 149 as total passengers
    1) remaining passengers from Ny
    2) plus first boarded at chicago.

    S 1: does not tell us how many remaining at Chicago from NyC. Insufficient
    S2: tell us The remaining passenger at chicago from NYC, but not mention passengers first boarded at Chicago. Insufficient

    S1+s2

    170-23= remaining passengers from NYC=157
    157-149= first board at Chicago

    C is the answer
