- AThe Question can be answered by using one of the Statements alone, but cannot be answered using the other Statement alone
- BThe Question can be answered by using either Statement alone
- CThe Question can be answered by using both the Statements together, but cannot be answered using either Statement alone
- DThe Question can be answered even without using any of the Statements
Explanation
Diagonals 5k and 12k give side sqrt((5k/2)^2+(12k/2)^2) = 6.5k. Since 6.5k never equals 5k or 12k for k > 0, the answer is 'No' without any statements. The stored key B was wrong; corrected to D since no statement is needed.
