I. Adam has a total of 25 jeans and T-shirts to wear for the party.
II. Adam has 50 percent more T-shirts than jeans to wear for the party.

Target question: Is the possible number of ways in which Adam can wear a jeans and a T-shirt for the party, a multiple of 6?

Let T = # of T-shirts Adam owns
Let J = # of jeans Adam owns
So, the total number of outfits = JT

Rephrased target question: Is JT a multiple of 6?

Statement 1: Adam has a total of 25 jeans and T-shirts
There are several pairs of values that meet this condition. Here are two:
Case a: J=1 and T=24, in which case JT is a multiple of 6
Case b: J=2 and T=23, in which case JT is not a multiple of 6
Since we cannot answer the target question with certainty, statement 1 is NOT SUFFICIENT

Statement 2: Adam has 50 percent more T-shirts than jeans to wear for the party.
In other words, T = 1.5J = (3/2)J
Multiply both sides by 2 to get 2T = 3J
This tells us that T must be a multiple of 3, and J must be a multiple of 2.
From this, we can conclude that JT is a multiple of 6
Since we can answer the target question with certainty, statement 2 is SUFFICIENT

Answer = B
