answer:
Statement (1) is probably missing some content as it feels dubious both grammar-wise and situation-wise.

Statement (2) gives us the total number of commuters to be 250, out of which at least 50 are females. No exact number of female commuters could be drawn. Insufficient

no choice recommendation until the question is repaired and transfered to its assigned den

Giving it a shot

1) IMO - B
( if 20% is 50, then the remainnig 80% can be found out, whihc would be the number of male commuters unless offcourse.... no other category is considered)

2) IMO -- A
Income in 1999 cna be found out by calculating all the values of the 1st half and 2nd half.
Its mentioned thta 10% greatre than income in 1998

3) IMO - C
Sal = WekSal + Com

Com = k* Items
Com = k*65

Cond 1 : 390 = WeekSal + k*45 ...

Cond 2 : WekSal/Com = 10/3 ; Com = 3/10*WekSal

390 = 13WekSal/10

WekSal = 300

Com = 90

k = 90/45 = 2

Hence this weeks sal : 300 + 2*65

The answer here it C. Statement 2 just tell us that there are 20 female commuters, not that there are only 20 female commuters. Therefore this information on its own doesnt allow us to answer the question.

You need both statements.
