Is ABCD a rectangle?

(1) The perimeter of ABCD is equal to twice the length of one side plus twice the length of any adjacent side.
(2) AC bisects BD

Statements 1 and 2 together are true for rectangles, but also for rhombuses, say (or for parallelograms generally) so the answer is E.

I have never seen a single official question which even mentions diagonals that "bisect" other diagonals, incidentally.

Is ABCD a rectangle?

(1) The perimeter of ABCD is equal to twice the length of one side plus twice the length of any adjacent side.
(2) AC bisects BD


Project DS Butler Data Sufficiency (DS3)


For DS butler Questions Click Here

Properties of Rectangle:
1) Opposite sides are equal
2) All angles are 90º
3) Diagonal are equal and they bisect each other
4) Diagonals are not perpendicular essentially but they may be and that case would become a square

STatement 1: The perimeter of ABCD is equal to twice the length of one side plus twice the length of any adjacent side.

The condition confirms even for a parallelogram but every parallelogram is NOT essentially a rectangle hence

NOT SUFFICIENT

STatement 2: AC bisects BD
Diagonals are bisectors even in case of a parallelogram but every parallelogram is NOT essentially a rectangle hence

NOT SUFFICIENT

Combining the statements

Still the give information confirm that the quadrilateral is a Paralleloparallelogram but every parallelogram is NOT essentially a rectangle hence

NOT SUFFICIENT

Answer: Option E
