1) is not sufficient
The left triangle becomes a \(90-30-60\) triangle however we don't know anything about the right triangle. \(\Large{\color{red}\chi}\)
2) is not sufficient
The right triangle becomes a \(90-30-60\) triangle however we don't know anything about the left triangle. \(\Large{\color{red}\chi}\)
Combining \(1 \& 2\) is sufficient
We know both the triangles are \(90-30-60\) with same sides. \(\Large{\color{green}\checkmark}\)
Hence, C
