ABC and PQR are both triangles. Is the area of triangle ABC greater than the area of triangle PQR?
(1) Sides AB=PQ, BC=QR, and AC=PR --> if three pairs of sides of two triangles are equal in length, then the triangles are congruent, they have the same shape and size. (Side-Side-Side case). So the area of triangle ABC is equal to that of the area of triangle PQR. Sufficient.
( 2) Angles A=P, B=Q, and C=R --> triangle ABC and triangle PQR are similar, but we need to know the lengths of the sides to answer the question. Not sufficient.
Answer: A.
For more or congruent and similar triangles check Triangles chapter of Math Book: math-triangles-87197.html
Hope it helps.

from 1
ABC is congruent to PQR.
areas equal.
sufficient to tell that area of ABC is NOT greater than PQR
from 2
ABC is similar to PQR.
area of ABC may be <, > or = to PQR.
does not answer answer the question.
hence A.
