Solution

The correct option is A I and II only
From II,base : height = 5 : 12.
Let base = 5x and height = 12x.
Then, hypotenuse =(5x)2+(12x)2=13x.
From I, perimeter of the triangle = 30 cm.
5x+12x+13x=30x=1.
So, base = 5x = 5 cm, height = 12x = 12 cm.
Area(12×5×12)cm2=30cm2
Thus, I and II together give the Ans. Clearly III is redundant, since the breadth of the rectangle is not given.
Correct Ans is (a).
