IMO it should be D (each statement alone is sufficient to answer the question)
Stat 1: dist = 90 miles
Avg miles per gallon= 30
so to drive 90 miles, it should take approx 3 gallons and the car has 6 gallons of gas left
hence sufficient to reach destination
Stat 2: uses 3 gallons to drive 90 miles and has more than 5 gallons left So again sufficient to drive to its destination
Somehow i get the feeling that I am missing something ... This seems too simple. Whats the Answer?

Ya even I got the feeling. This sounds too easy. Is there a catch? Maybe that's what he is trying to highlight.srcc25anu wrote:IMO it should be D (each statement alone is sufficient to answer the question)

Vineesh,
Just telling you what I know and think. I am not the expert.
