sophia, please post this question in DS section.

I believe answer to your question is E , since we are talking about ratios not numbers and question does not tell us which one really increased. And do not forget to post the OA with your questions using the spoiler function.

I should have read carefully

It is E for Bonds
It is C for Stocks

STMT 1:

S / (S + B) increased.

This can happen a number of ways:

S can increase
B can decrease

INSUFF

STMT 2:

S + B increased

S could increase or B could increase

INSUFF


TOGETHER:

S/(S+B) Increased and S+B Increased

If S+B increased the only possible way for S/(S+B) to increase is if the numerator increased.


I go with C
