Statement II is worded as "the area of one side of the sheet of glass". What does it exactly mean? Of course area of a rectangle is length times width then why is there a need to write the statement in such a way?
That's a great question! What you've said is correct - the statement should be obvious if we just say "the area of the sheet of glass."
However, a sheet of glass has 3 dimensions (that is, it has a thickness as well). This is probably why the test writers chose to word the question that way, so that they could avoid any confusion.
It looks like the OG question you've provided the link to doesn't match up with this question. Did you mean to include the link for a different question?
