Given,
Question: What is the length of the rectangle?
Statement:
I. The perimeter of the rectangle is 80 meters.
II. The sum of the adjacent sides is 40 meters.
III. The width of the rectangle is 10 meters.
Here we have three statements and from any alone statement, we cannot find the length of the rectangle.
We have the width of the rectangle given in the third statement.
By using statement I and III,
We have, Perimeter of the rectangle = 80 meter
Width of the rectangle = 10 meter
We know,
Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (Length + Width)
∴ 80 = 2 (L + 10)
∴ 40 = L + 10
∴ L = 30 meter
Here we get length of the rectangle = 30 meter.
By using statement II and III,
The sum of the adjacent sides is 40 meters.
Width of the rectangle = 10 meter.
Let, the length of the rectangle be x.
We know,

∴ The sum of the adjacent sides = Length + Width
∴ 40 = x + 10
∴ x = 30
Here we get length of the rectangle = 30 meter.
∴ We get the length of the rectangle by using III and one from I or II statement.
∴ III and one from I or II are sufficient.
Hence, the correct answer is C.
