The points A, B, C, and D are on a number line, not necessarily in that order. If the distance between A and B is 18 and the distance between C and D is 8, what is the distance between B and D?

(2) A is to the left of D on the number line.
The drawings below satisfy both statements:

Since in the first case BD=1 and in the second case BD=17, the two statements combined are insufficient.

The correct answer is E.

What exactly is this question trying to test ?
And how can we solve this question in less than 2 or 3 minutes.
To consider all the scenarios I am taking a lot of time....
Please help on how to do this quickly.
