Explanation

We need the difference between simple and compound interest, which depends on principal, rate, and time. Statement I gives rate = 5%, but no principal or time. Statement II gives interest after 5 years = 1250, but doesn't specify if this is simple or compound interest, nor the principal. Even together, we cannot determine the principal or distinguish between interest types. Neither statement alone nor both together are sufficient.
