The given only says that the trip is taken in two stages, but don't tell how many hours did Mr.Mike drive in each day.
Average speed = $$\frac{Distance1 + Distance2}{Hours1 + Hours2}$$

from statement (1), We know Distance1+Distance2, but we don't know the value of Hours1+hours2
from statement (2), We know that Hours1 = Hours2 + 1, but still but we don't know the value of Hours1+hours2

After combining , we still don't know the value of Hours1+hours2

We have to solve
$$\frac{[1st day km+2nd day km]}{[1st day hours+2nd day hours]}$$

1 stm --> gives the total km driven, but we dont have an idea about the time. Not suff
2 stm --> does not even give the total time, we just know that on the first day he just drove 1-hour longer. Not suff

TOgether not sufficient as we dont know the total time

Speed is
Total distance/total time
combine both
$$\frac{D1 +D2 }{t1+t2}$$

we combine both stmts also but we still get
$$300+267/\frac{300}{t1} + \frac{267}{t1-1}$$
still t1 is an unkown
hence E
