IMO C

Stmt 1 - gives relation between x and y as y-x=5. No more info so NOT SUFF

Stmt 2 - gives relation between x and y as 6x=5y. No more info so NOT SUFF

Together, we can solve for x and y. SUFF


OA???

Let Beth's savings per week be B
Let Ann's savings per week be A

1) B - A = 5

Insufficient

2) 6A = 5B
So, 5B - 6A = 0

Insufficient

Combining the 2 statements, we get 2 equations and 2 variables. So, it's solvable :)

IMO it's C
