Is the answer B

To find: sector of 9.6 million

Statement 1:
We have no information about the total Budget
INSUFFICIENT


Statement 2:
Since the total Budget is 48Million
we can deduce that 9.6 is nearly 20% of 48 Million
So, Sector A
SUFFICIENT

St (1) alone is not sufficient for sure.

Over to St (2): If the pie is drawn to scale and 9.6 happens to be 20% or 1/5 of the total 48, then one can bet that it's the sector A only which can represent 1/5 of the entire pie, what else?
