(1) Of the total number of patients admitted to Warehall Hospital in 1996, one ninth were discharged within one hour.
(2) Exactly 11,050 patients were discharged within one hour.

t = 17500
Discharged within a day = 1/6 * t
Discharged within an hour = x
Of those patients discharged within one hour, Seen by 1 doctor = x/4
How many patients during 1996 were seen by only one doctor?
Statement 1
Discharged within an hour = 1/9 * 17500
We can use this to identify patients who were discharged within an hour and were seen by 1 doctor. However we have no info on the patients who were not discharged within an hour - how many of them were seen by only 1 doctor
Insufficient
Statement 2
x = 11050
Redundant and conflicting information (?)

Wonderful question. At first instance, everything seems fine.
In 1996, 17500 patients were admitted to Warehall Hospital.
Patients discharged within one day = 1/6 *( 17500) = 2916.667 = 2917 patients.
Of THOSE PATIENTS discharged within 1 hour - one fourth will seen by ONLY ONE doctor.
How many patients were seen by ONLY one doctor ?
Before going into the statements, let analyse the question stem. Of the 17500 patients admitted to the hospital. Some might have been discharged or some might have been retained for treatment inside the hospital.
Of those who have been discharged, some might have been discharged within 1 hr, and some might have been discharged within this day.
There is another segment, WHO HAS NOT BEEN DISCHARGED - but, might have been seen by a single doctor.
How many patients were seen by ONLY ONE doctor ? The patients can be either discharged ( within 1 day / within 1 hour) OR can be patients NOT discharged.
Statement 1:
(1) Of the total number of patients admitted to Warehall Hospital in 1996, one ninth were discharged within one hour.
Data pertaining to patients admitted, but not discharged. But, still seen by only one doctor is missing.
Hence NOT sufficient.
Statement 2:
(2) Exactly 11,050 patients were discharged within one hour.
Data pertaining to patients admitted, but not discharged. But, still seen by only one doctor is missing.
Hence NOT sufficient.
option E
if the question stem was more specific, then the answer might have been different.
