Dear Saurabh
Combine the UF and NS into one. So we have the following grid

Mfav Motherwise Ntotal
N fav x 30
N otherwise w y 70
Mtotal 40 60 100

Now, Motherwise and Notherwise is given as 40 i.e. y=40
=> w= 30 => x = 10
So, 1 is sufficient.
2 does not give any data for excluding Favourable so can't be solved
Hence, answer is (A). At least, that is what I think
Cheers
