What is the value of

(X+Y) \/ X

?
(1)

Y

35 \%

X

.
(2)

Y=88

Statement (1) BY ITSELF is sufficient to answer the question, but statement (2) by itself is not.
Statement (2) BY ITSELF is sufficient to answer the question, but statement (1) by itself is not.
Statements (1) and (2) TAKEN TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the question, even though NEITHER statement BY ITSELF is sufficient.
Either statement BY ITSELF is sufficient to answer the question.
Statements (1) and (2) TAKEN TOGETHER are NOT sufficient to answer the question, requiring more data pertaining to the problem

Solution:

The expression can be written as:

(X+Y) / X=1+Y / X

and therefore we need the ratio only. Statement (1) is sufficient because it gives us the ratio between

Y

and

X, Y=1.35 X

. Statement (2) is insufficient by itself since it supplies no data on the variable

X
