Question
What is the area of this plot ? I. The perimeter of the plot is 208 metres. II. The length is more than the breadth by 4 metres.
Options
A. If the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question
B. If the data in statement II alone are sufficient answer the question
C. If the data either in I or II alone are sufficient to answer the question;
D. If the data in both the statements together are needed.

Correct Answer

If the data in both the statements together are needed.

Explanation

The area of the plot can be determined from both I and II as follows .

Let the breadth of the plot be x metres Then, length = (x + 4) metres

Thus, perimeter s 208 metres 2(x + 4 + x) = 208 ,

4x =200, x = 50.

So. length =54 metres. breadth = 50 metres.

Area of the plot = 2700 m^2.

Hence, both I and II are required
