Global Stats

From Statement 2, 21 out of 50 car-owners are women. That's a reduced ratio, so the number of car owners must be a multiple of 50, and the only multiple of 50 less than or equal to 80 is 50 itself, so there must be 50 car owners, and Statement 2 is sufficient. Since Statement 1 only tells us we have no more than 80-14 = 66 car owners, the answer is B.
