(1) All of the cars that had antilock brakes also had auto transmission
(2) 2 of the cars had neither auto transmission nor antilock brakes.
The following cases satisfy both statements:

Case 1:
2 cars have neither
1 car has both antilock breaks and automatic transmission
22 cars have only automatic transmission.

Case 2:
2 cars have neither
22 cars have both antilock breaks and automatic transmission
1 car has only automatic transmission.

Since the number of cars that have only automatic transmission can be different values, the two statements combined are INSUFFICIENT.

The correct answer is E.
