B...
This is one of those pain in the butt problems
Not hard, but you need to just calculate out the rate
If you aren't careful, this is one you can make a stupid mistake on..i.e. bad calculation

6miles = 5280*6 = 31680ft
1/2hour = 1800sec.
distance = time*spd
stmt 1. spd > 16 ft/sec
so, distance > 16*1800 = 28800
insuff.
stmt2. spd < 18 ft/sec
so, distance < 18*1800 = 32400
insuff.
stmt1+stmt2 28800 < distance < 32400 but, still insuff.
ans E

I. speed > 16 .. minm distance = 16*1800 = 28800 .. we dont know whether its more than 31680 or not.
II. speed < 18, maxm = 18*1800 = 32400 ..dont know if thats more than 31680 or not..
Combining, it can be less than 31680 or more.. (note that spped can be real)..

from 1 i get
total distance > (16/5280)*3600/2 = 60/11
so 1 is not sufficient
from 2 i get
total distance < (18/5280)*3600/2 = 24.5.../4 which is greater than 6
so we have 60/11 < total distance < 6.something
