(2) if the data in Statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question. (3) if the data in both Statements I and II are required to answer the question. (4) if the data in both Statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.

Explanation

Statement I only restates that the total number of students is 90, which is already given in the problem. Statement II provides two equations relating X, Y, and Z to each other, which, when combined with the total of 90, allows us to solve for the exact number of students interviewed by Panel X. Thus, Statement II alone is sufficient.
