1. We don't know the efficiency of each car..irrespective of speed at which they travel we dont know how much gasoline was consumed.

Insufficient

2, One car travelled 20 mi per gallon another travelled 25 mi per gasoline..So we can calculate the gallons used for total disntace as we now know the distance per gallon each car tdavels
Sufficient

Kudos for a correct solution.



1) not sufficient - We can find the time travelled not the gas consumed
2) sufficient - S consumed 2.5 gallon and T consumed 2 Gallon

Statement 1: Since both cars travel the same distance i.e. 50 miles, distance traveled = constant.

Therefore, time taken will be inversely proportional to the speeds of two cars.

If Speed (Car S) > Speed (Car T), then

Time (Car S) < Time (Car T)

However, unless we know the fuel consumption rate (gallons/unit of time), we can't calculate the actual gallons of fuel consumed by each of the cars.

INSUFFICIENT

Statement 2: Directly gives you the gallons of fuel consumed by two cars - SUFFICIENT
