If a lathe machine manufactures screws and bolts at a constant rate, how much time will it take to manufacture 1000 bolts?
(1) It takes the lathe machine 28 seconds to manufacture 20 screws.
(2) It takes the lathe machine 1.5 times more time to manufacture one bolt than to manufacture one screw.

Question: Time to manufacture 1000 bolts = ?
Statement 1: It takes the lathe machine 28 seconds to manufacture 20 screws.
We know the rate of manufacturing screws but not bolts hence
NOT SUFFICIENT
Statement 2: It takes the lathe machine 1.5 times more time to manufacture one bolt than to manufacture one screw.
We know the relationship between rate of manufacturing screws and bolts but the actual rate is unknown hence
NOT SUFFICIENT
Combining the statements
We can calculate the rate of bolts as well as screws hence
SUFFICIENT
Answer: Option C

If a lathe machine manufactures screws and bolts at a constant rate, how much time will it take to manufacture 1000 bolts?
Statement: 1 It takes the lathe machine 28 seconds to manufacture 20 screws.
using unitary method we can calculate rate i.e screw per sec
20/28 screw/sec is the rate of manufacturing screws
No info about rate of manufacturing bolts
Hence, Not sufficient
Statement:2 It takes the lathe machine 1.5 times more time to manufacture one bolt than to manufacture one screw.
We do not know about rate of manufacturing screws; so, Not sufficient
Combined :-
Rate of Manufacturing screws =\(\frac{20}{28}\) Screw/sec
Rate of manufacturing Bolts =\(\frac{20}{(28*1.5)}\) Bolts/sec
To manufacture 1000 bolts, time taken= 1000/rate of manufacturing bolts
Hence, sufficient
C is the answer, just by knowing the calculation we can say it is c
