(A) $$\angle{ABC}$$ is the largest angle.
(B) $$\angle{BAC}=\angle{CBA}$$

New question!!!..

As ABC is a right angled triangle, it means -

$$\angle{A}$$ + $$\angle{B}$$ + $$\angle{C}$$ = 180 ----- (1)
One of the angles is 90 degrees and that will be the largest angle ------- (2)

Statement A - $$\angle{ABC}$$ is the largest angle.

From Line (2) and statement (A) we concur,

Measure of $$\angle{ABC}$$ is 90 degree

Hence statement A is sufficient.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Statement B - $$\angle{BAC}=\angle{CBA}$$

From (2) we know,

One of the angles is 90 degree. So remaining two angle's sum will be 90 degrees (From Line 1)

Hence if

$$\angle{BAC}=\angle{CBA}$$, they cannot be both 90 degrees,

So Measure of $$\angle{ABC}$$ has to be 90 degree

Hence statement B is sufficient.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The answer then becomes D

1. The largest angle of a rt angled triangle is 90=ABC
sufficient

2.both=45
ABC=90
sufficient

D
