None of these
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Given: floor area = 50 sq m. Statement II: carpet length = 10 m. If width = 5 m, then carpet area = 50 sq m, which matches floor area. Statement II alone is sufficient to deduce width = 5 m (assuming carpet covers floor fully). Statement I gives cost but not dimensions. Statement III says widths are equal but doesn't give value.
