Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: Only I and II
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
The original wording asked for “cost” but no painting rate was provided. Under the Recovery-First Policy, we minimally repair the stem to ask for the area of two adjacent walls (sum of areas), which is uniquely determinable from geometric data alone.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Area of two adjacent walls = L * H + B * H = H * (L + B). Using I and II, the scale k can be solved, yielding exact dimensions and therefore the desired area.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
Statement III alone gives only one wall’s area and does not determine the other without additional dimensions.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Assuming floor area alone fixes height; it does not without proportions.
Final Answer:
Only I and II
