1) BC/AB = 3/4
2) BD = 25
1) BC/AB = 3/4
2) BD = 25

to find out the area of circular region we need either BC or BO
Statement 1.This gives only the ratio of BC and AB.BC will vary when ab will vary(when AB=16,BC=9 and when AB=32 ,BC=18.) hence insufficient
Statement 2.This provides only BD and we can not calculate BC with this.
Insufficient
Statement 1 and 2 together
BC/AB=3/4= so BC and AB are in the ratio of 3:4,
Consider BC=3k and AB=4k hence BD=5k(right angled triangle)
BD=5K=25 so k=5
BC=15
therefore area ca be calculated.
Sufficient
