Statistical Inference — joint sufficiency for normal mean and sd

Let x1,x2,…,xnx_1,x_2,…,x_n be a random sample from a Normal distribution N(μ,σ2)N(\mu,\sigma^2). Suppose both μ\mu and σ\sigma are unknown. Which of the following are jointly sufficient statistic for (μ,σ)(\mu,\sigma)? 1. {∑i=1nxi,∑i=1nxi2}\{\sum_{i=1}^n x_i,\sum_{i=1}^n x_i^2\}. 2. {∑i=1nxi,∑i=1n(xi−xˉ)2}\{\sum_{i=1}^n x_i,\sum_{i=1}^n(x_i-\bar x)^2\}. 3. {∑i=1nxi2,∑i=1n(xi−xˉ)2}\{\sum_{i=1}^n x_i^2,\sum_{i=1}^n(x_i-\bar x)^2\}. Select the correct answer using the code given below:
