A right triangle's hypotenuse is a diameter of its circumcircle (circumscribed circle).
The reverse is also true: if one of the sides of an inscribed triangle is a diameter of the circle, then the triangle is a right angled (right angel being the angle opposite the diameter/hypotenuse).
Is the Triangle ABC right angled at C?
According to the above if ABC is right angled at C, then AB (hypotenuse) must be the diameter of circumscribed circle.
(1) AB is not the longest chord that can be drawn in a circle. Diameter is the longest chord possible in a circle, thus AB is NOT a diameter, therefore ABC is not right angled at C. Sufficient.
(2) The Length of AB is seven-fifth the radius of the circle. If ABC were right angled at C, AB would be a diameter, thus equal to twice the radius of the circle. ABC is not right angled at C. Sufficient.
Answer: D.

How do we know that C lies on circle and not in circle or out of circle?
