Machine J runs at a constant rate and produces a lot consisting of 300 bottles in 4 hours. How much less time would it take to produce the lot of bottles if both machines J and P were run simultaneously?
(1) Machine J can only produce a maximum of 10 lots per day.
(2) Machine J produces twice the number of bottles per hour as machine P.

Machine J runs at a constant rate and produces a lot consisting of 300 bottles in 4 hours. How much less time would it take to produce the lot of bottles if both machines J and P were run simultaneously?
To solve this we need 1 piece of Information:
(i) The rate at which Machine P produces the bottles.
Statement (1) gives no information on the Rate of Machine P, hence is insufficient.
(2) Machine J produces twice the number of bottles per hour as machine P.
Statement (2) tells us that the Rate at which machine P produces bottle is half the rate at which machine J produces. Since this statement gives the information we are looking for, hence is sufficient.
Answer is B.

From statement 1) we can consider that Machine J produces 3000 bottles in 24 Hrs right? So, I think even Statement 1) would be suffice to answer the question Can you shed some light on my assumption? To solve this we need 1 piece of Information:
(i) The rate at which Machine P produces the bottles.
Statement (1) gives no information on the Rate of Machine P, hence is insufficient.
(2) Machine J produces twice the number of bottles per hour as machine P.
Statement (2) tells us that the Rate at which machine P produces bottle is half the rate at which machine J produces. Since this statement gives the information we are looking for, hence is sufficient.
