each day 2 session leaving the last day(which can be 1or 2)
no of sessions completed at the end of 3rd day=2+2+2=6

1) says 6 days of session

so total no of sessions can be 12 or 11.

so answer can be 5or 6

2)11 total session

so 11-6=5.suff

(1) The sequence of training sessions Sofia will attend will last 6 days ..........>at the end of the 3rd day Sofia will attend exactly 6 session but on other 3 days Sofia may attend 5/6 sessions,since on last day of her training sessions she will attend either 1 session or 2 sessions Not Sufficient

(2) There are a total of 11 training sessions in the sequence of training sessions Sofia will attend........>this statement specified Sofia will have left to attend 5 sessions because at the end of 3rd day she will attend 6 sessions ,since each day until the last day she will attend exactly 2 sessions.Sufficient

Took a while to understand the situation. Basically each day she attends 2 trainings, but on the last day it could be 1 or 2 trainings. Question at the end of the 3rd day how many trainings left?

1. 6 days so total could be 12 (6*2) or 11 (5*2) +1)). No Good since two options for how many trainings left after day 3.
2. 11 total so (5*2) +1). This tells us how many left. Sufficient.

Hello,
Please correct me if I am wrong, does
“ (1) The sequence of training sessions Sofia will attend will last 6 days ”
This imply that the session will last 6 days but it is not necessarily true that she will attend all 6?
