(1) The number of applicants in January was one-third the number of applicants in September.

(2) The number of applicants in January was 20.

BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.
