Short Story : S1 : S2 : S3 : S4 : S5 : S6
Fraction of the total reading assignment : 1/3 : 1/4 : 1/6 : 1/9 : 1/12 :1/18
Let the total number of pages of all 6 stories combined = 36 (LCM of denominators!)
Multiplying the ratio with 36
--> S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6 = 12, 9, 6, 4, 3, 2 pages respectively
Hannah read more than half of pages on Wednesday
--> She reads more than 18 pages on Wednesday
--> Hannah read less than 18 on Thursday
(1) Hannah read S1 and S4 on Thursday.
--> S1 + S4 = 12 + 4 = 16
Case 1: Hannah read S6 on Thursday
--> S1 + S4 + S6 = 12 + 4 + 2 = 18 --> Not Possible (She reads less than 18 on Thursday.
--> We can definitely conclude that she didn't read any other novel on Thursday
--> A Definite NO --> Sufficient
(2) Hannah read S2 and S5 on Wednesday.
--> S2 + S5 = 9 + 3 = 12
For Hannah to read more than 18 she has to read a novel with more than 6 pages or more than one novel that adds to >6 pages
Case1: S2 + S5 + S1 = 9 + 3 + 12 = 24 (Possible) -->S6 is not read
Case 2: S2 + S5 + S1 + S6 = 9 + 3 + 12 + 2 = 26 (Possible) --> S6 is read
--> Insufficient

for all days fraction the LCM = 36
and we have ; 12,9,6,4,3,2 for each story
condition ; if Hannah read more than 1/2 of the entire assignment on Wednesday and she always completed a short story in one sitting,
need to determine did she read S6 on Wednesday?
so on wednesday she must have read >18
#1
Hannah read S1 and S4 on Thursday.
which is ; 12+4 ; 16 ; if she reads s6 on thursday then we get 16+2 ; 18 ; which is not possible as out of total 36 >18 has already been completed on wednesday
sufficient
#2
Hannah read S2 and S5 on Wednesday.
i.e 9+3 ; 12 ; since given that for wednesday total read >18 assigment so there are fair chances that may or may not s6 had been read on wednesday
insufficient
IMO A
