Let total distance = 100 miles.
We need Tom’s average speed = total distance ÷ total time.
(1)
He traveled 60 miles at 60 mph → time = 60/60 = 1 hour.
He traveled 40 miles at 40 mph → time = 40/40 = 1 hour.
Total time = 1 + 1 = 2 hours.
Average speed = 100 ÷ 2 = 50 mph.
→ Statement (1) alone is sufficient.
(2)
It took 2 hours to travel 100 miles.
Average speed = 100 ÷ 2 = 50 mph.
→ Statement (2) alone is sufficient.
Answer: D (Each statement alone is sufficient.)
