At a particular university with 200 students 30% receive loans and 40% receive scholarships. What percent of the students receive neither scholarships nor loans?

(1) No one received both scholarships and loans.
(2) 60 students received loans.

The OA is A.

Following is the information from the question stem:

----------------------Scholarship-----------------No Scholarship-------------Total
Loan----------------------------------------------------------------------------------60
No Loan----------------------------------------------------x-----------------------140
Total-------------------80--------------------------------120---------------------200

x is what we want to know.

Statement 1: We are told that the 2nd quadrant is 0. So 1st quadrant (Loan, No Scholarship) is 60. Hence x is 60. Sufficient
Statement 2: Gives us what we already know. Insufficient

Has anyone another strategic approach to solve this PS question? Regards!
