. A turtle is crossing a field. What is the total distance (in meters) passed by turtle? Consider the following two statements
(X) The average speed of the turtle is 2 meters per minute
(Y) Had the turtle walked 1 meter per minute faster than his average speed it would have finished 40 minutes earlier
A. Statement X alone is enough to get the answer
B. Both statements X and Y are needed to get the answer
C. Statement Y alone is enough to get the answer
D. Data inadequate

• Both statement are needed to get the answer.
  let the distance covered by turtle is x.
  so time=distance/speed.
  so compare with time of both the condition.
  t=x/2 and t=((x)/(2+1))+40
  (x/2)-(x/3)=40
  x=240 meter distance turtle has to convered.
  so both statement is required.

• let the distance 'd' covered in x min at 2m/min, on increasing speed 1m/min 'd' would be covered in x-40 at 3m/min, so 2x=3(x-40),x=120 (B)so both the statement needed
