Neither statement could be sufficient alone. Statement 1 tells us that 120 children had inflammation, fever, or both. Statement 2 tells us that 20 of these children had fever, so the rest, or 100 children, did not have fever. But those children must all have had inflammation and no fever, so the answer is 100, and using both Statements we can answer the question.
