1: total expense is known, and we have a total of 6X faces, but we do not know X, so we do not know the expense of painting each face. And also we do not know how many faces to be painted. So A is not sufficient
2: 2 squares, 12 faces. But you got two ways to put the two squares. One way: you need to paint 8 faces. Another way: you need to paint 9 faces. So B is not good
1+2: total of 12 faces, total expenses to paint these 12 faces are known. Therefore, the expenses per face is known. But you could paint 9 faces or 8 faces. So 1+2 does not suffice. Answer should be E
You need the additional information of how to displace these 2 squares. Also, Y cents should be specified more clearly. I do not know whether Y cents are expenses for painting one square face or expense for one unit of paint. In the latter case, Y might be irrelevant.
