I think answer is D. because using AB=4/5 AF, we can substitue in AB^2+ AF^2 = 25 and get both AB and AF. and then find the perimeter.

Hey sandesh87,
when you say {AB}^2 + {AF}^2 = 25, are you assuming ABDF as a rectangle?
Ideally when you analyse a statement individually, you should not consider the information present in the other statement. The information that ABDF is a rectangle is present in statement 1 only, and hence should not be considered at the time of analyzing statement 2.

Experts can you please confirm what's the OA? Is it D or A?

Thank you for pointing the mistake. I think these are the errors which usually happen during the actual exam.
I think its a very good question.
