At Time T, both P and Q crossed Point X together—after which neither stopped running before reaching the finish line. After Time T, Q overtook P at least three times, and each time P was behind and caught up with Q, P overtook Q.
How many overtakes between P and Q occurred after Time T?
Key information given:
“An overtake” between two participants refers to the event of one of them moving ahead of the other.
At Point X and Time T, P and Q were "together."
After Time T, Q overtook P at least three times, and each time P was behind and caught up with Q, P overtook Q.
P won.
(1) Q overtook P exactly three times between Point X and the finish line.
This statement tells us only that Q overtook P three times.
If we go with the definition that an overtake is "one of them moving ahead of the other," then we have the following two possibilities.
Together at X - P moves ahead - Q moves ahead - P moves ahead - Q moves ahead - P moves ahead - Q moves ahead - P moves ahead and wins. 7 overtakes
Together at X - Q moves ahead - P moves ahead - Q moves ahead - P moves ahead - Q moves ahead - P moves ahead and wins. 6 overtakes
Insufficient
(2) P overtook Q exactly three times between Point X and the finish line.
Given that the passage says, "Q overtook P at least three times, and each time P was behind and caught up with Q, P overtook Q," if we go with the definition that an overtake is "one of them moving ahead of the other," then we have the following single possibility.
Together at X - Q moves ahead - P moves ahead - Q moves ahead - P moves ahead - Q moves ahead - P moves ahead and wins. 6 overtakes
Sufficient.
So, it appears that the correct answer is (B), for BUSTED question.

Is this from an official GMAT Prep mock? If so, which one? Could you please share a screenshot? That would help. Thank you.
