• D. II and III only
• E. II and either I or III

Answer 1

The correct option is E II and either I or III

From I and II, we can find the length and breadth of the rectangle and therefore the area can be obtained.
So, III is redundant.
Also, from II and III, we can find the length and breadth and therefore the area can be obtained.
So, I is redundant.
$\therefore$ Correct answer is "II and either I or III".
