Question:
Is || gm ABCD a square?
I. Diagonals of || gm ABCD are equal.
II. Diagonals of || gm ABCD intersect at right angles.
(a) if the question can be answered by one of the given statements alone and not by the other;
(b) if the question can be answered by either statement alone;
(c) if the question can be answered by both the statements together but not by any one of the two;
(d) if the question cannot be answered by using both the statements together.
Solution:
When the diagonals of a parallelogram are equal, it is either a rectangle or a square.
Also, if the diagonals intersects at a right angle, then it is a square.
∴ Both I and II together will give the answer.
Hence, the correct answer is (c).
