Statement I tells you that Distance=72 x time
Statement II tells you that Distance= 80 x (time-1)

Both are insufficient on their own because you have two variables (D and t) and one equation.

Putting I and II together you get 72 x time = 80 x (time-1)
Now you can solve for t and consequently for D also.

Answer is C.
