In each of the following independent situations we want to construct a triangle $ABC$ satisfying the given conditions. In each case state how many such triangles $ABC$ exist up to congruence.
(i) $AB = 30 \quad BC = 95 \quad AC = 55$
(ii) $\angle A = 30 ^ { \circ } \quad \angle B = 95 ^ { \circ } \quad \angle C = 55 ^ { \circ }$
(iii) $\angle A = 30 ^ { \circ } \quad \angle B = 95 ^ { \circ } \quad BC = 55$
(iv) $\angle A = 30 ^ { \circ } \quad AB = 95 \quad BC = 55$
