We need to find if the area of Quadrilateral R greater than the area of Quadrilateral S or not.
Statement 1
The perimeter of R is greater than the perimeter of S.
So this is not sufficient.
Statement 1
R and S are both squares.
Both are squares but we do not know which one has a greater area.
So this is not sufficient.
Combine
Since both are squares and the perimeter or R is greater than that of S, the area of R must also be greater.
The answer is C.

Statement 1
The perimeter of R is greater than the perimeter of S.
- The higher perimeter does not guarantee a higher area.
For example, we can have a square of 36 square units (side of 6 units) having a perimeter of 24.
And also we can have a rectangle of 32 square units (side of 16 and 2 units) having a perimeter of 36.
So this is not sufficient.
Statement 1
R and S are both squares.
Both are squares but we do not know which one has a greater area.
So this is not sufficient.
Combine
Since both are squares and the perimeter or R is greater than that of S, the area of R must also be greater.
The answer is C.
