(1) In country x, 11.3 percent of the population is 65 years old or older.
(2) In country x, of the population 65 years old or older, 20 percent of the men and 10 percent of the women are employed.

PLEASE EXPLAIN....

(1) No info about employment: insufficient.

(2) if 20% of the old men are employed and 10% of the old women, then even if there's only 5 old men and 100 billion old women, more than 10% of the old people will be employed: sufficient.

(1) is insufficient and (2) is sufficient: choose (b).
