(1) 50 students don't play soccer.
(2) 80 students don't play tennis.

The OA is B.
Say,
the number of students who play ONLY Soccer = S;
the number of students who play ONLY Tennis = T; and
the number of students who play BOTH = B

Thus, S + B + T = 150

We have to find out whether S + B > T + B => S > T

Let's take each statement one by one.

(1) 50 students don't play soccer.

=> T = 50
=> S + B = 150 - 50 = 100

Case 1: If S > 50 and B ≤ 50, the answer is Yes.
Case 2: If S ≤ 50 and B > 50, the answer is No. No unique answer. Insufficient.

(2) 80 students don't play tennis.

=> S = 80
=> T + B = 150 - 80 = 70

Even if B = 0, or T is maximum = 70, we see that S (= 80) > T(= 70). The answer is Yes. Sufficient.

The correct answer: B

Hope this helps!
