What is the area of the square? (I) The perimeter of the square is a multiple of 4. (II) The diagonal of the square is 17√2 cm.
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B.
1. (I) Perimeter divisible by 4 is true for every square with integer side. It gives no specific side. Not sufficient.
2. (II) Diagonal = side × √2 = 17√2, so side = 17 cm. Area = 17² = 289 cm². Sufficient.
3. So (II) alone determines the area.
