Statement 1 ) Not Sufficient !!! as no information about employment figures.

Statement 2) Sufficient !!! as we know that employment % of 65 years old or older must be between 10 and 20. So at least 10% are definitely employed.

Answer B .

As suggested, the correct answer is B

I just wanted to point out that puneetkhurana2000's conclusion that the "employment % of 65 years old or older must be between 10 and 20" is based on weighted averages.

If you'd like to know more about weighted averages, we have a free video here: https://www.gmatprepnow.com/module/gmat- ... ics?id=805
