Geometry - Triangles

In isosceles triangle RST, what is the measure of R?
(1) the measure of T = 100
(2) The measure of S = 40.

My logic:
From (1), R + S = 180 - 100 = 80. Since T > 90, angle R = angle S. Hence, R = 80/2 = 40
From (2), R + T = 180 - 40 = 140. Assuming, angle R = angle t. Hence, R = 140/2 = 70.
Hence, C

Isosceles triange RST means two angles/lengths are equal.

1) you know T is 100, thus angles R and S are 40 = (180-100)/2, another angle besides T cannot be 100
Sufficient
2) Angle S = 40, R and T =140
What are the possibilities of R and T=140? One is 40 and another is 100 OR both R and T are 70.
There are 3 possibilities of what R can be : 40, 70, 100
Insufficient

A is the answer.

In an isosceles triangle, two angle are equal.

(1) angle T = 100º implies the other angle cannot be equal to 100 as the sum of the 3 angles in a triangle is 180º.
This means that angles R and S are equal. So, 2R + 100 = 180 implies 2R = 80 implies R = 40º
So, (1) is SUFFICIENT.

(2) angle S = 40º does not imply that which of the angles are equal.
So, (2) is NOT SUFFICIENT.

The correct answer is A.

Thanks for your responses.

For DS, there needs to be a unique solution and not multiple solution. Right?

You are absolutely right Polter. We need to have a unique answer, only then we can say that a statement is Sufficient.

IMO this statement is refering to the length of side R not angle R. So instead it should be: what's is the measure of angle R. IMO this question is incomplete/ambiguous?
