1:20 PM to 4:05 PM = 2 hours 45 minutes = 2.75 hours
Given constraints:
  • Distance ≥ 150 km
  • Speed ≥ 60 km/h
Statement (1): Speed ≤ 75 km/h
Combined with the given information:
60 ≤ speed ≤ 75 km/h
distance ≥ 150 km
Case 1:
Distance = 150 km, speed = 60 km/h
time = 150/60 = 2.50 hours
Technician arrives on time.
Case 2:
Distance = 200 km, speed = 60 km/h
time = 200/60 = 3.33 hours
Technician arrives late..
Therefore, Statement (1) alone is INSUFFICIENT.

Statement (2): Distance < 160 km
distance < 160 km
speed ≥ 60 km/h
t = \(\frac{<160}{≥60}\)
t < 2.66 hours
Since:
2.66 hours < 2.75 hours available,

Therefore, Statement (2) alone is SUFFICIENT.

Answer: B

A field technician left a service depot at 1:20 PM for a maintenance visit at Harbor Clinic scheduled for 4:05 PM the same day. If Harbor Clinic was at least 150 kilometers from the service depot and the technician drove at an average (arithmetic mean) speed of at least 60 kilometers per hour, did the technician arrive late for the maintenance visit?

(1) The technician drove at an average (arithmetic mean) speed of no more than 75 kilometers per hour.
(2) Harbor Clinic was less than 160 kilometers from the service depot.

Given: D>=150km, S=60km/hr, for which travel time t=2.5hrs

Start time is 1.20pm, ETA at destination is 4.05pm i.e time for travel to reach on time = 2hr 45min or 2(3/4)hrs

To find: did technician reach on time?

1) S<=75. This is insufficient since we dont know the upper limit of D

2) D<=160km. We know 60<= S<=75 lets assume S=60. Then 160/60 is 2(2/3)hrs less than available time of 2(3/4) hrs given to reach destination

Hence B is sufficient.
