E IMO

Neither statement helps to come up with a number of students

Statement 1 is insufficient because our answer is a subset of the data given.

Statement 2 is insufficient due to the same explanation.

Even with both together we cannot narrow down the answer. So E

Isn't it the statement 2 explains that 10% of 900 students attended all the three days.

What is the OA?

Well the second statement says that 10% of everyone that went at least once went on all three days.

However do you know how many ppl went at least once? No.. so we don't know what 10% of that number is . Thus, 2 is insufficient. Just knowing the % is not enough unless the question asks what is the % of students that went on all three days.
