(1) If all the water currently in Pool Y were transferred to Pool X, Pool X would be filled to 6/7 of its capacity.
(2) Pool X has a capacity of 14,000 gallons.

Statement 1: Amount of water in pool X = 2/7 of X's capacity
If all the water in pool Y is transferred to pool X, amount of water in pool X = 6/7 of X's capacity
Hence, amount of water in pool Y = (6/7 - 2/7) = 4/7 of X's capacity

Therefore, amount of water to be transferred from pool Y to pool X = (4/7 - 2/7)/2 = 1/7 of X's capacity.

Hence required percentage = (Water to be transferred/Water in pool Y)*100 = [(1/7 of X's capacity)/(4/7 of X's capacity)]*100 = 100/4 = 25

Sufficient

Statement 2: No information regarding pool Y.

Not sufficient

The correct answer is A.
