Total students = 250
Let the number of students taking undergraduate courses = a
Let the number of students taking graduate courses = b
For 2 overlapping sets, total = set 1 + set 2 - both + none
i.e 250 = a + b - both +0

Target question => How many students are taking graduate courses? i.e find the value of b

Statement 1 => 200 students are taking undergraduate courses
a = 200 but the value of ''b'' and ''both'' is unknown so statement 1 is NOT SUFFICIENT

Statement 2 => 50 students are taking both undergraduate and graduate courses
both student = 50 but the value of a and b is unknown so statement 2 is NOT SUFFICIENT

Combining both statements together =>
From statement 1 => a = 200
From statement 2 => both = 50
From question stem => total = a + b - both + none
250 = 200 + b - 50 + 0
250 = 150 + b
b = 250 - 150 = 100
Both statements combined together ARE SUFFICIENT

Answer = C
