This type of question can often be solved by doing your best to prove that you can get two different answers from each statement. If you can get 2 answers using values that agree with he statement as well as the prompt (the question stem), you will have proven that the statements are not sufficient.
The same technique can be used to evaluate the statements together. In this case, be sure to use values that agree with the prompt as well as with both statements. To save time, see whether the values you've used to check previous statements can be used again.
The answer is E. A detailed solution and step-by-step video solution are available at GMATPrep Question 1097.
Good luck,
-Patrick
