imo B
statement 1
price per pound of apple = x
Therefore, 5x dollars buys 5 pounds of apples
price of peach per lb = x + 0.5
pounds of peach bought for 5x dollars = 5x/(x+0.5)
therefore statements 1 is insufficient
now, statement 2
price of apple per pound = x
Therefore, 5x dollars buys 5 pounds of apples
price of peach per lb = 1.5x
pounds of peach for 5x dollars = 5x/1.5x or 5/1.5 = 3.33lb
Hence, answer is B
