T = ? seconds

1. T = 6 hours => t = 60*3600 seconds

SUFFICIENT

2. T: Starts at 9AM ends at 3PM. Same day? Different days?

INSUFFICIENT

Pick A.

You are right Abhay!!

Posted this question, As i felt it easily misguides us to believe that 9 to 3 is 6 hours.
You caught it smoothly.

All the best for your test tomorrow.
