i think 2nd is sufficient ,
IMO ans should be (b)

perimeter=20(1+sqrt2)

IMO : C is the correct answer

Consider the figure attatched

Given : Area of the parallelogram is 100

We know that Area of a paralleogram is (bxh)

Now bh = 100 (given)
We have to find : 2(b+l) as opposite sides of a paralleogram are equal.

Statement 1 :
------------
b=10 (AB)

hence, h=10

This tells us nothing about the length. hence insufficient.

Statement 2 :
-------------
One Angle is 45,say angle C.Therfore angle A is also 45 as opposite sides and angles of a parallelogram are equal.

But with no information about the sides we cannot find the perimeter

Hence,insufficient

Combining the 2 statements,

When h=10
And angle DEA is 90,therefore DAE is a 45-45-90 right triangle
Hence DA = l = 5sqrt(2)

Therefore perimeter = 2(10+5sqrt(2))

Hence,C

Hope this helps.

I followed the same steps. Since DEA is a 45-45-90 right triangle ie 1:1: sqrt 2, which means that hieght is same as and the leg ie DE = AE = 10. But question states that base is 10. Looks like I am missing something?

Hence DA = l = 5sqrt(2)

Can you explain 'DA = l'

I meant the letter L to stand fr length.

from statement 2
if one angle is 45 then tan(45)=h/b
i.e h/b=1(bcoz tan45=1)
i.e h=b
area of llgm= b*h=100
or b^2=100
hence b=h=10
in tri DAE L^2=b^2+h^2=2b^2=bsqrt2=10sqrt2
perimeter=2(10+10sqrt2)

i am not getting where i am wrong

Sorry for the last post..
What we both we missing I think was the way we drew the Diagram.
Refer to the new One attatched.

Now If angle B = 45
Then since DA and BC are parallel, angle DAE is also 45. Therefore now DE = AE = 10 and hence AD = 5 sqrt 2

Then we have base 10 and width 5 sqrt 2,so we can find the perimeter.

Agree?? :

Actually, if the question were to say that one pair of the sides are parallel, I do agree with your solution.

Just to reconfirm the definition of parallelogram, got something on the internet.

Problem is poorly written? Experts, do you agree?

Anyone?

Parallelogram means, opposite sides are parallel and equal in length. I don't see anything wrong in the question.

Agree?? :

Sanjana,
AD is 10 sqrroot(2). AD is the diagonal of both AE and DE. A : A : A sqrrot(2)
