Statement 2 :
3000 men voted for X.
But out of remaining 6000, we don't know how many are men and how many are women.
And so we also can't decide how many of them voted for X.
---> insufficient

Statement 1 :
This statement means that 66.67 % women voted for X and 33.33 % did not.
But without exact number of women out of 9000, we can't decide number of women who voted for X.
---> insufficient

Even by combining both statements we can't find total number of women
So we can not find number of women who voted for X.
--- > insufficient

Ans. E
