both statements taken together are sufficient to answer the question, but neither statement alone is sufficient. Option C gives sufficient information from which it can be concluded that the percentage of companies that did not require neither computer skills nor writing skills using a venn diagram Taking (1) and (2) together, to 85 percent (20 +20+45) i.e 20% required computer skills,20% required both skills,45% required only writing skills.Therefore companies that do not require computer skills nor reading skills,would be equal to 100- 85= 15 percent of the surveyed companies required neither computer skills nor writing skills.All the other options provided are not sufficient enough to conclude the percentage of companies that do not require computer skills nor reading skills.
