Question

If we assume a constant reading rate, can Joel finish the book in 6 hours?

I. Joel reads 54 pages an hour.

II. In 2 hours, he reads half the book.

• A. If the data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question
• B. If the data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question
• C. If the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question
• D. If the data given in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question

Answer 1

The correct option is B

If the data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question

Statement I is not sufficient because the number of pages in the book is
not given.

Statement II is sufficient because in 2 hours half of the book is read.

Time needed to finish 1 book = 2 x2 = 4 hours $<$ 6 hours
