1). Range of S is greater that of T
Range of S is 10, Range of T is 9. We don't know the individual values in each of the sets without which SD cannot be determined. INSUFF
2). Average of S is greater than that of T
SD is distribution of values with mean. Without knowing the values/difference of each number with mean we cannot determine the SD of any set.

Combining together, we get the same, no info about any values in the set and hence INSUFF.
Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.
