Loans = 30% of 200 = 60
Scholarships = 40% of 200 = 80

(1) Scholarships only = 25% of 200 = 50
Both scholarships and loans = 80 - 50 = 30
Loans only = 60 - 30 = 30
Neither student loans nor scholarships = 200 - (30 + 30 + 50) = 90
So, (1) is SUFFICIENT.

(2) Both scholarships and loans = 50% of 60 = 30
Loans only = 60 - 30 = 30
Scholarships only = 80 - 30 = 50
Neither student loans nor scholarships = 200 - (30 + 30 + 50) = 90
So, (2) is SUFFICIENT.

The correct answer is (D).

Where can I find the questions?
Where is "OG12"?

The only "OG" I know... is completely irrelevant (original gangsta) lol.

Thanks
