Say the number of home runs hit by Brady, Charlie, and Daryl are b, c, and d, respectively.

We have to get the value of b/(b + c + d).

Let's take each statement one by one.

(1) Brady hit 12 home runs in that season.

We have b = 12, but we do not know the value of c and d. Insufficient.

(2) In that season, the number of home runs hit by Brady was twice the number hit by Charlie and Daryl combined.

=> b = 2(c + d)

Thus, the value of b/(b + c + d) = 2(c + d) / [2(c + d) + c + d] = 2(c + d) /3(c + d) = 2/3. Sufficient

The correct answer: B

Hope this helps!
