Painting to be done in the exterior of cubic wooden box , implies that painting to be done in the 6 faces of the cube.
Surface area=6*area of one square face=$$6a^2$$
We need two things to determine the amount (in gallon) of paint:-
a) Surface area of cube
b) gallon per square feet

St1:- One gallon of paint can cover an area of 150 square feet.
Note(a) absent.
Insufficient
St2:- The box's volume is 415 cubic feet.
Side length of the cuboid can be calculated if volume is known$$(a^3=415)$$, So, surface area can be calculated.
However, note(b) is absent.
Insufficient.

Combined, Note(a) & (b) data are available.
Sufficient.

Ans. (c)
