Required: How many full rotations around Pluto in 20 hours.
To calculate the number of rotations, we need the distance covered in each rotation and the speed of the spaceship.
Statement 1: The radius of the rotation is 21,000 miles
No information about the speed.
INSUFFICIENT
Statement 2: The spaceship travels at 35 miles per second.
No information about the distance.
INSUFFICIENT
Combining both statements:
We have information about the speed and the distance.
Hence we can calculate the number of rotations in 20 hours.
SUFFICIENT
NOTE: You do not need to calculate the exact valuer.
COrrect Option: C

Statement 1)
Radius of rotation = 21,000 miles
Distance traveled to complete one rotation = 2 x pie x r = 2 x 3.14 x 21,000
As no info with regard to speed of rotation is given .. Insufficient Rule out Choice A) & D)
Statement 2)
Speed of Spaceship = 35 miles/ sec = (35x60x60)/hour
As no info with regard to distance is given .. Insufficient Rule out Choice B)
Statement 1) & 2) combined
Distance traveled in 20hours = 35x60x60x20
=> No of rotations complete = (35x60x60x20)/(2x3.14x21000) = 19.10 [in the test there is no requirement to actually solve the calculation]
The question specifically asks for no. of full rotations
Hence ans = 19 .. Sufficient
Answer Choice C) is correct.
Good luck
