Is the perimeter of a certain rectangular garden greater than 50 meters?
STATEMENT (1) The two shorter sides of the garden are each 15 meters long.
-- the length of shorter sides = 15 each
longer side will be > 15
let the length of longer sides be 15.1
perimeter = 2(15+15.1) >50
the perimeter of the rectangle will always be greater than 50
SUFFICIENT
STATEMENT (2) The length of the garden is 5 meters greater than the width of the garden.
let the width of the garden = x
length = x+5
perimeter = 2(2x+5)
we don't know the value of x so we cant find the perimeter
INSUFFICIENT
A is the answer

(1) We know two the two shorter sides are 15. We don't know the length of the two longer sides.
Not sufficient, right?
Wait a minute, if the two shorter sides are 15, then the other sides must be greater than 15.
15+15+15.1+15.1 = 60.2
Sufficient
(2) width + 5 = Length
Perimeter could be infinitely high.
Perimeter could be under 50. Say Width = 1 and Length = 6
1+1+6+6 = 14.
Not sufficient
