Find the area of the rectangle ABCD, if the length and breadth are odd positive integers.

(2) The area of the square whose side length is equal to the length of the rectangle, is 80% greater than the area of the rectangle.

From Statement 1, 2L + 2W = 28, so L + W = 14. There are a few pairs of positive odd integers that add to 14, say 9 and 5 or 3 and 11, and these will give us different areas, so this is not sufficient.

From Statement 2, the area of an L by L square is 80% bigger than the area of our L by W rectangle. So

L^2 = 1.8 LW
L = 1.8W
L = 9W/5

Since 9W/5 is equal to the integer L, it must be true that W is divisible by 5. It's also an odd integer, but that's really all we know - W could be 5, and L could be 9, or W could be 15 and L could be 27, among other possibilities.

But combining the two statements, W must be 5 and L must be 9, so the answer is C.
