    Answer : Option D

    Explanation :

    Given: Area of rectangle = Area of a right-angles triangle.

     

     l x b =\(\frac { 1 } { 2 } \)xBxH

     

    I gives, B = 40 cm.

     

    II gives, H = 50 cm.

     

    Thus, to find l, we need b also, which is not given.

     

     Given data is not sufficient to give the answer.

     

     Correct answer is (D).
