From S1:
Only MN is given. No extra info.
Hence Insufficient.
From S2:
Angle N = Angle O = 1/2*Angle M
Let N = x
then O = x and M = 2x
4x = 180
x = 45
N = O = 45
M = 90
Triangle NMO is a right angle triangle.
Bunuel sir, as the question is asking whether MNO is a right-angled triangle, then angle N should be 90 degrees as per the question.
Here I'm getting M as 90 degrees. Both aren't same, right?

IF YOU FIND MY SOLUTION HELPFUL, PLEASE GIVE ME KUDOS
(1) mn = 2 ROOT 2. We can draw two such triangles with MN = 2root 2. Suppose MO=ON = 2root2, then we have a equilateral triangle with all angles = 60 degrees and the answer is NO Suppose OM=ON = 2, then we have a 45-45-90 degree right triangle and the answer is YES
Since we get a Yes and a No given the constraint, we mark NS
(2) <MNO = <MON = 1/2 OMN. Let MNO = MON = x, and OMN = x/2, then we have 2 1/2 x = 180. Solving gives 5/2 x =180 and x =72. Thus we have a 72-72-36 degree triangle, which is certainly not a right triangle, giving us a clear NO Sufficient.
The answer is B
