If machine X ran continuously at a uniform rate to fill a production order, at what time did the machine finish filling the order?

(1) Machine X had filled 2/3 of the order by 10:00 a.m. and 5/6 of the order by 10:30 a.m.

(2) Machine X had filled 1/6 of the order by 8:30 a.m. and 1/3 of the order by 9:00 a.m.
In each statement, two different data points were given. Since the rate is constant—linear, the slope (speed) and subsequently the time can be calculated with the help of two data points.

The 1st and 2nd statement basically provide the same information so we need to evaluate only one to determine the answer.
(1) From this statement we can find the rate of filling the order, then after that we can find the finishing time. So it is sufficient.
Answer is (D).

Machine X ran continuously at some uniform rate. Time to finish the order ???

STATEMENT 1:

(1) Machine X had filled 2/3 of the order by 10:00 a.m. and 5/6 of the order by 10:30 a.m.

Machine fills 2/3 of the order by 10.00 am.
machine fills 5/6 of the order by 10:30 am.

In 30 mins = the machine fills (5/6 - 2/3) = 1/6 of the order in 30 mins.
So, 1 order takes = 30*6 = 180 mins.

Hence A is SUFFICIENT.

STATEMENT 2:

(2) Machine X had filled 1/6 of the order by 8:30 a.m. and 1/3 of the order by 9:00 a.m


Machine fills 1/6 of the order by 8.30 am.
machine fills 1/3 of the order by 9:00 am.


In 30 mins = the machine fills (1/3 - 1/6) = 1/6 of the order in 30 mins.

So, 1 order takes = 30*6 = 180 mins.

Statement B is SUFFICIENT .

Since individual statements are sufficient to answer the question. option D is answer.
