Statement 1: Knowing the difference doesn't tell us who's faster --> not sufficientlheiannie07 wrote:Who types at a faster rate, John or Bob?

Statement 2: nothing about John --> not sufficient
Together: We know Bob types at 80 wpm, and that there's a difference of 1 wpm. So John could type at either 79 or 81 wpm --> not sufficient. The answer is E
