Question ; How long does it take Vincent to chop down trees?
Statement 1 ; Vincent spends 6 hours per day chopping down trees.
This does not provide us with information on the number of trees that Vincent cut in a day, so we cannot calculate the number of hours he took to cut 4 trees.
Hence, statement 1 is INSUFFICIENT.
Statement 2; Vincent takes twice as long as Rogers to chop down trees.
That is, V = 2 * R
V = 2R
If R takes 1 hour to cut 4 trees,
V will take 2 hours to cut 4 trees.
Thus, Vincent takes 2 hours to chop down 4 trees.
Therefore, Statement 2 is SUFFICIENT.
Finally, Statement 2 alone is sufficient. Option B is the CORRECT ANSWER.
