Quantitative Aptitude (SBI-CL) Data Sufficiency

What is the area of a triangle ABC of base 12 cm?

Statement I: The height of the triangle is 8 cm.

Statement II: The triangle is an isosceles.

The data in statements I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

The data in statements II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Either Statement I or Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.

The data in both the statements I and II is not sufficient to answer the question.

The data in both the statements I and II together is necessary to answer the question.

Explanation:

Area of a triangle = ½ × base × height
In the statement I, height is given then we can conclude the area by the formula.
In the statement II, we only have information that the triangle is isosceles
Therefore, statement II alone is not sufficient to conclude our answer.
Therefore, the data in statements I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in
statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
Hence, option A is correct.
