Question:
What is the area of rectangle ABCD? (1) The perimeter is 28 (2) The length is 2 more than the width

Options

(A) Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient
(B) Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient
(C) BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient
(D) EACH statement ALONE is sufficient
(E) Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient
Answer: (C) BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient

Explanation:
Statement (1): 2(l + w) = 28, so l + w = 14. Infinite combinations. Insufficient. Statement (2): l = w + 2. Without actual values, cannot find area. Insufficient. Together: l + w = 14 and l = w + 2. Substituting: (w + 2) + w = 14, so 2w = 12, w = 6, l = 8. Area = 48. Sufficient.
