Question

    What is the area of the square?

    I. The diagonal of the square is the 6√3m.

    II. The perimeter of the square is 48m.

    A If the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B If the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C If the data either in statement I alone or statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D If the data in both statement I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E If the data in both statement I and II together are necessary to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From I Area of the square = 1/2 d2 = 1/2 (6√3)² = 1/2 × 36 × 3 = 54m² From II Perimeter of the square = 48m Side = 48/4 = 12m ∴ Area of the square = (12)² = 144m² Hence, the question can be answered either from statement I or from statement II.
