Solution and Explanation:
Approach Solution 1:
According to Statement (1), the list price of the Leisure is the list price of the Touristo. The list price of the Touristo is therefore greater than the list price of the Leisure.
Statement (1) is sufficient; the answer must be (A) or (D).
Statement (2) tells you that the list price of the Touristo is 1.2 times the list price of the Leisure. So Statement (2) also tells you that the list price of the Touristo is greater than the list price of the Leisure.
Correct Answer: D
Approach Solution 2:
Statement 1: The list price of the Leisure is 5/6 the list price of the Touristo.

Since we can answer the target question with certainty, statement 1 is SUFFICIENT
Statement 2: The list price of the Touristo is 1.2 times the list of the Leisure.
The answer to the target question is the Touristo has the higher price
Since we can answer the target question with certainty, statement 2 is SUFFICIENT
