What is the height of the triangle?

I. 

The area of the triangle is 20 times its base.

 II. 

The perimeter of the triangle is equal to the perimeter of a square of side 10 cm.

I alone sufficient while II alone not sufficient to answer
II alone sufficient while I alone not sufficient to answer
Either I or II alone sufficient to answer
Both I and II are not sufficient to answer
Both I and II are necessary to answer
Answer: Option
Explanation:

 I. A = 20 x B         1 x B x H = 20 x B         H = 40.
2

I alone gives the answer.

II gives, perimeter of the triangle = 40 cm.

This does not give the height of the triangle.

Correct answer is (A).

The perimeter of the Triangle and the perimeter of the square will not be equal.

Perimeter increases by sides so Square has a four sides while a triangle has three sides.

It's not mentioned in the question that it's a right-angled triangle. Then how it should be?

Unit of area and base doesn't match how can you relate both by saying one is 20 times the other?
Irfan said:   8 years ago
First specify the nature of triangle.
PRANAY said:   9 years ago
Nowhere it is mentioned that the triangle is a right-angled triangle.
Arun said:   1 decade ago
Here nature of triangle is not given. So how we say option A is always right.

p=a+b+c.
Hari said:   1 decade ago
Perimeter of triangle (p) = a+b+c.
