The stem states Joe and Seth mow the lawn in 2 hours 30 minutes, and we need the time for all five boys starting together.

SourceInformation ProvidedSufficiency
Question StemJoe + Seth: 2 hours 30 minutes to mow the lawn.Insufficient, as no information about Mike, Tommy, or Teddy is given.
Statement 1Mike, Tommy, Teddy: 1 hour 40 minutes to mow the lawn.Sufficient. With Joe + Seth as one unit (2.5 hours) and Mike + Tommy + Teddy as another (1.666 hours), we can combine their rates to find the time for all five boys.
Statement 2Each boy: 5 hours to mow the lawn alone.Sufficient. Knowing each boy’s individual time (5 hours) allows us to sum their rates (including Joe and Seth) to find the combined time for all five.
Statements 1 + 2Combined times for Joe + Seth, Mike + Tommy + Teddy, and individual rates.STOP! Each statement alone is sufficient; no need to combine.

Each statement alone provides enough information to calculate the combined time, so we don’t need both.

Answer: D
