A question along with a set of statements is given. Find which of the given statements is/are sufficient to answer the question.
Question: Find the perimeter of a triangle given that:
Statements:
I. Area of the triangle is .
II. Height of the triangle is .

  1. A
    Statement II alone is sufficient.
  2. B
    Statement I alone is sufficient.
  3. C
    Both Statement I and Statement II together also are not sufficient.
  4. D
    Both Statement I and Statement II together are sufficient.

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's analyze if the given statements can help find the perimeter of a triangle.
The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of all its three sides ().

* From Statement I and II together:
Using the area formula:





This gives the length of one side (the base) of the triangle as .

However, we do not have any information about the nature of the triangle (whether it is right-angled, isosceles, equilateral, etc.) or the lengths/angles of the other two sides. Without the other two sides, the perimeter cannot be unique or calculated.

Therefore, even by combining both Statement I and Statement II together, the information is not sufficient to answer the question.
