Car P and car Q competed in the same 300-kilometer race. What is the average speed of the car P?

(1) Car P completed the race in 3 hours and 40 minutes.
(2) Car Q, at an average speed of 100 kilometers per hour, completed the race 40 minutes before car P crossed the finish line.

The OA is D.

From statement 1:
We can get average speed directly (speed = dist/time).
Sufficient.

From statement 2
Car Q will complete the race in 3 hrs and car P will complete in 3 hrs 40 minutes (speed = dist/time).
Sufficient

Hence D is the correct answer.

Another approach? Someone help? Thanks!
