Lets assume 100 attended the party.
Since, 40% are women, women=40 and men=60.
S1 says that 50% of the male arrived with a women.
Which means 30 men arrived with a women and 30 didnt.
Since total number of women attending are 40 and 30 of them came with men, only 10 came alone.
So 10 women and 30 men , which is 40% arrived alone.
S2 says 25% of the lone attendees were women.
Let that nbr be x
so nbr of women who've come with men is 40-x.
From among 60 men, 40-x have come with a woman and 60-(40-x) have come alone.
x=0.25(x+20+x)
x=10
hence suff
Hence D.
Nice one!...I assumed A intially..have to be careful of such trciky ones in the exam.

(1) 50% of the male attendees arrived with a woman.
(2) 25% of the attendees arriving alone were women.
60% of the attendees were men, so if the number of attendees was n, the number of men was 0.6n.
(1) Half of the 0.6n male attendees arrived with a women, so the number of women was 0.3n+ the number of women who arrived alone. Thus the number of women who arrived alone was n-0.3n-0.6n=0.1n, and the number of people who arrived alone was 0.1n (women)+0.3n (men), i.e 40% of the total.
(1) is sufficient
(2) If k is the number of women who arrived alone, 3k men arrived alone. The rest of the people arrived with a member of the opposite sex, so the number of men-the number of women=2k=0.2n, where n is the number of attendees. Thus 4k (the number of people who arrived alone) is 0.4n, 40% of the total
(2) is sufficient
