SOLUTION:

A circular tub has a band painted around its circumference, as shown above. What is the surface area of this painted band?

The surface area of the band is circumference of the band (circumference of the tub) multiplied by the width of the band.

(1) x = 0.5. We know the width of the band but not the circumference. Not sufficient.

(2) The height of the tub is 1 meter. From the height of the tub we cannot get neither the width of the band nor the circumference of the tub. Not sufficient.

(1)+(2) We still cannot get the circumference of the tub. Not sufficient.

Answer: E.

I don't think, this is 650 level. Seems pretty easy to me.

We even don't have to calculate anything here.

The answer is E since we don't know the radius of the tub.
