In the figure above, what is the length of AC ?

1. x + y = 13

2. xy=36


1. AC= 2(x+y) =2*13 = 26 Suff
2. If xy=36, x,y have diff possible pair if they are strictly integers e.g., (1,36),(2,18) etc ..... if we consider non-integers there will be more e.g., \((\frac{36}{7} , 7)\), \((\frac{36}{11},11)\).... etc..... so x+y will be having varied results for each pair. --Not Suff .......................Thus Ans A

AC = 2x +2y
(AC/2) = x+y

Statement 1
x+y=13 -->sufficient

statement 2
xy = 36
would lead to a quadratic. IS

Length of AC = 2(x + y)

Statement 1) x + y = 13
Length of AC = 26. SUFFICIENT

Statement 2) xy = 36
Here x and y can take many values such as (1,36) , (2,18) , (3,12), etc. For each set a unique value of 2(x + y) is obtained. So INSUFFICIENT.

OPTION: A
