A jogger runs along the track PABCQRCDASP. How many times will he need to run around this track to cover 5 miles? Note that ABCD is a square.

(1) ∠PSD = ∠QRD = 90° and PA = AB = CQ
Since no length is given, distance can not be determined.
NOT SUFFICIENT

(2) PS = QR = BD = 0.35 miles
Since PS = 0.35 miles, ∠PAB = 90 and ABCD is a square,
the length of PA can be determined.
Similarly, all the other lengths can be determined.

SUFFICIENT

Choice B

The only problem with B is that it don't predict the length of AP, AS, CQ, CR, so we can't predict the perimeter of whole track to get the no. Of rotation required.
A gives that information.
So, A and B together are sufficient

DP will be diagonal of the resulting square because diagonal are making 90 degree with each other... I guess? so B shall be sufficient.
We are given the diagonal of the square already present in the figure.

see that's what i meant.
the diagonal lengths can be same with given constraints.
but the other two sides can vary as well.
see the following diagram:
