Question

Each item contains a Question followed by two Statements. Answer each item using the following instructions:

Area of a rectangle with length x and breadth y is P and area of a parallelogram (which is strictly not a rectangle) with adjacent sides of length x and y is Q.

Question :What is the ratio of the lengths of diagonals of a rhombus ?

Statement - I :One diagonal of the rhombus is equal to its side.

Statement - II :The longer diagonal of the rhombus is equal to3 times its side.

A.

If the Question can be answered by one of the Statements alone, but not by the other.

B.

If the Question can be answered by either Statement alone.

C.

If the Question can be answered by using both the Statements together, but cannot be answered by using either Statement alone.

D.

If the Question cannot be answered even by using both Statements together.

Correct option is B

Solution:

Statement - I : One diagonal of the rhombus is equal to its side.

ABCD is a Rhombus hence AC bisect BD

Δ ABD andΔ BDC are equilateral triangles.

AC intersects BD at 90°

AC = 2 × a3/2 = √3 

BD = a

BD/AC = 1/√3

Hence statement 1 is sufficient to answer the question.

Statement 2: The longer diagonal of the rhombus is equal to 3 times its side.

Same figure can be drawn and the question can be answered.

∴ The correct answer is option b.
