1.so we have C=17 and r=14. so we can see the overlap here. SUFF
2. so we know 13 take only japanese so we have 17 students left who study chinese BUT we dont know the dual language students so INSUFF

{Total} = {Chinese} + {Japanese} - {Both} --> 30=17+{Japanese} - {Both} --> {Japanese} - {Both}=13.

Question: {Both}=?

(1) {Japanese}=14 --> 14-{Both}=13 --> {Both}=1. Sufficient.

(2) {Japanese} - {Both}=13 --> the same info as in stem. Not sufficient.

Just to illustrate

C No C Total
J r-13 13 r

No J 30-r 0 30-r

Total 17 13 30

Statement 1

Gives r=14 then, 14-13=1 study both

Sufficient

Statement 2

Insufficient
