CAT 2018 Question Paper Quants Slot 2 Mensuration

Given that a parallelogram ABCD has an area 48 sq cm. The length of CD is 8 cm and that of AD is s cm
Since the area given here is 48 sq.cm the height can be found as 6 sq.cm
We have to find which of the following options is necessarily true

Since this (shaded portion) is a right angled triangle with 6 as its height and s as its hypotenuse so we can assure that s ≥ 6 and s cannot be less than 6 so we can eliminate the other options.
By this we can come to the conclusion that s ≥ 6

The question is "A parallelogram ABCD has area 48 sqcm. If the length of CD is 8 cm and that of AD is s cm, then which one of the following is necessarily true? "

Hence, the answer is s ≥ 6

Choice A is the correct answer.
