Say the number of cups of flour and the number to the number of cups of sugar are F and S, respectively.

We have to find out the value fo F/S.

Let's take each statement one by one.

1) The number of cups of flour required in the recipe is 250% of the number of cups of sugar required in the recipe.

=> F = 250% of S
F/S = 250/100. Sufficient.

2) 1 1/2 more cups of flour than cups of sugar are required in the recipe.

=> F = 1.5 + S.

Can't get the unique value of F/S. Insufficient.

The correct answer: A

Hope this helps!
