Yesterday, each bottling machine at a bottling plant was operating at below maximum output. Did any of the machines fill less than 4,000 bottles?
(1) Each machine’s maximum daily output is between 6,000 and 15,000 bottles.
(2) Each machine operated at between 50 to 70 percent of its maximum output.
(1) Each machine’s maximum daily output is between 6,000 and 15,000 bottles.

Hi, I originally thought that this question was easy until I hit a couple verbiage roadblocks.
It particularly has to do with the question asking specifically, if any of the machine machines produced less than 4000 bottles.
The information provided states that the output was between 50 and 70% for machines that produce 6000 to 15,000 bottles on average. The information provided means that there is a possibility that a machine produced less than 4000, but it does not give enough evidence that a machine specifically did.
If we are using only factual based evidence, then it would be E.
I could very well be wrong.

The Question: Did ANY machine fill less than 4,000 bottles? (Yes/No)
Statement 1 alone: Max output is between 6,000 and 15,000 bottles.
We don't know the actual operating percentage. Not sufficient.
Statement 2 alone: Each machine operated at 50-70% of max.
We don't know the maximum output. Not sufficient.
Combined:
Here's where your insight matters. We know:
• Max output: 6,000 to 15,000
• Operating rate: 50% to 70%
Case 1: A machine has max 6,000 and operates at 50%
→ Output = 3,000 bottles → YES, less than 4,000
Case 2: A machine has max 10,000 and operates at 50%
→ Output = 5,000 bottles → NO, not less than 4,000
Both cases satisfy ALL the given conditions, but give different answers to the question.
Since we can construct valid scenarios with both YES and NO answers, the statements together are not sufficient.
Answer: E
