1. IMO E

You don't really need to do any calculations for this question. Just use your logic.

We need to know what percent of those who submit applications for admission enroll in classes at the university?

St 1: 15% of those who submit applications for admission are accepted at the university.

Getting accepted is not the same as enrolling for classes. The students might get accepted by the university but we have no information regarding how many accepted this offer and enrolled --- INSUFF

St 2: 8% of those who are accepted send a deposit to the university.

Again same logic. Sending the deposit does not confirm that these students will actually enroll for subjects. Probably they withdrew after depositing.---INSUFF

Together also we don't know whether how many students actually accepted the offer and enrolled. Hence C is also INSUFF

Answer should be E.
