(1) The tickets booked for the fun show cost the Family X $124 in total.

Given that no of youngsters is not more than 8.

y*11 + A*23 = 124

Plugin values for Y. Y=5 is the only value which give A=3. Others will yield a non-integer.
Hence Sufficient.


(2)The fun show tickets booked for the adults in the Family X cost $14 more than it cost to the youngsters in the Family X.

23* A - 11 * Y =14

The only value that will yield integer is y=5.
Sufficient.

Hence D is the answer.
