  2. Yes. Answer is b because st = 25 so it's always less than 50.

  7. I think its D, coz if

    R__________________S
    |
    |
    |__________________T
    U

    If the rectangle is named the above way then, ST=25

    R__________________S
    |
    |
    |__________________U
    T

    If the rectangle is named the above way,
    ST becomes the diagonal which is definitely greater than 50
    So I think its 'D'
