Answer» Solution Clearly, from each statement alone we cannot FIND the sides of the triangle, HENCE the area of triangle. Thus, by combining both statements, we get : Let base = $4x$ m and HEIGHT = $3x$ m Hypotenuse = $5=\sqrt{(4x)^2+(3x)^2}$ => $16x^2+9x^2=5^2$ => $25x^2=25$ => $x^2=\frac{25}{25}=1$ => $x=\sqrt{1}=1$ Thus, base = $4$ m and height = $3$ m => Area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2}\times4\times3=6$ $m^2$ $\THEREFORE$ Both statements together are sufficient. => Ans - (E) |
