Notice that the type of quadrilateral is not mentioned explicitly or implicitly neither in the question stem nor in the statements.
Also, notations l and w are provided for two sides only . Measure of other 2 sides of the quadrilateral may be any value.
Hence , combined also we don't have any additional info on measurement of angle if any other property of the quadrilateral ,which would ensure unique measure of area of the quadrilateral.
Therefore, insufficient.
Ans (E)
P.S. As per official guide, figures confirm to the information given in the question.

Given:
To find:
Analysing Statement 1
“\(l^2 + 2lw + w^2 = 16\)”
However, we cannot infer anything about the other two sides of the quadrilateral.
So, we cannot find the area of ABCD
Therefore, Statement 1 is NOT sufficient to arrive at a unique answer
Analysing Statement 2
“\(l^2 - 2lw + w^2 = 4\)”
However, we cannot infer anything about the other two sides of the quadrilateral.
So, we cannot find the area of ABCD
Therefore, Statement 2 is NOT sufficient to arrive at a unique answer
Combining Both Statements
However, we cannot infer anything about the other two sides of the quadrilateral.
So, we cannot find the area of ABCD
Therefore, both statements TOGETHER are NOT sufficient to arrive at a unique answer
Hence, the correct answer is option E.
Answer: E
- • A quadrilateral ABCD, and
• AD = l and DC = w
To find:
- • The area of the quadrilateral, ABCD
Analysing Statement 1
“\(l^2 + 2lw + w^2 = 16\)”
- • Implies, l + w = 4
However, we cannot infer anything about the other two sides of the quadrilateral.
So, we cannot find the area of ABCD
Therefore, Statement 1 is NOT sufficient to arrive at a unique answer
Analysing Statement 2
“\(l^2 - 2lw + w^2 = 4\)”
- • Implies, l – w = 2
However, we cannot infer anything about the other two sides of the quadrilateral.
So, we cannot find the area of ABCD
Therefore, Statement 2 is NOT sufficient to arrive at a unique answer
Combining Both Statements
- • From Statement 1, we know, l + w = 4
• From Statement 2, we know, l - w = 2
• Solving the above equations, we get, l = 3 and w = 1
However, we cannot infer anything about the other two sides of the quadrilateral.
So, we cannot find the area of ABCD
Therefore, both statements TOGETHER are NOT sufficient to arrive at a unique answer
Hence, the correct answer is option E.
Answer: E
