St (1)
q = 3
Doesnt tell us anything about p
Not Sufficient
St(2)
Area = 8
Area = (1/2)* p * q
p*q = 16
We cant say anything about the value of p
Not Sufficient
Combining St(1) and St(2)
p*q = 16
p = 16/3
Option C

The area of a triangle is ½·Base·Height. p is both the base AO and the height BD of this triangle. The area of OAB is ½·p·p = ½p2 = 8. Now you can calculate p.

O is the Origin (0,0)
A is (0,p)
B is (p,q) .......... refer the image
