B. The length of OM is 4 cm.

Answer 1

Answer:

question can be answered by using statement a alone but not by statement b alone

Answer 2

Answer:

A.The length of OM is twice that of OL

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the side of the square is L.

The Maximum length of OM can be $\sqrt{2} L$, which will happen when O is very close to K. In that case length of OL is L, which is the minimum length OL can attain for any point O on the line JK.

This means that the length of OL can never be twice of OL. This is why Rahim is unable to draw a square.

B.) Length of OM can or can not be 4cm. The length of OM or OL depends upon size of the square drawn.
