ASSERTION & REASONING QUESTIONS

DIRECTION : In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R). Mark the correct choice as:
(a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A).
(b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R) is not the correct explanation of assertion (A).
(c) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.
(d) Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.

Question. Assertion: Two angles measures a – 60° and 123° – 2a. If each one is opposite to equal sides of an isosceles triangle, then the value of a is 61°.
Reason: Sides opposite to equal angles of a triangle are equal.
Answer : We know that Sides opposite to equal angles of a triangle are equal.
So, Reason is correct.
Since angles opposite to equal sides of an isosceles triangle are equal, therefore a – 60° = 123° – 2a
⇒ 3a = 123° + 60° = 183°
⇒ a = = 61°
So, Assertion is also correct.
But reason (R) is not the correct explanation of assertion (A)
Correct option is (b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason
(R) is not the correct explanation of assertion (A) .

Question. Assertion : In ΔABC, AB = AC and ∠B = 50⁰, then ∠C is 50⁰.
Reason : Angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal.
(a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A) .
(b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R) is not the correct explanation of assertion (A) .
(c) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.
(d) Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.
Answer : We know that Angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal.
So, Reason is correct.
Now, In ΔABC, AB = AC
∠B = ∠C (Angles opposite to equal sides)
⇒ ∠C = 50⁰
So, Assertion is also correct.
Correct option is (a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason
(R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A) .

Question. Assertion : If the altitudes from two vertices of a triangle to the opposite sides are equal, then the triangle is an isosceles triangle.
Reason: If two angles and one side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the corresponding side of the other triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
Answer : We know that “If two angles and one side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the corresponding side of the other triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.” – This is AAS Congruence Rule
So, Reason is correct
In △ABL and △ACM,
BL = CM (Given)
∠BAL = ∠CAM (Common angle)
∠ALB = ∠AMC = 90°
∴ △ABL ≅ △ACM (AAS criterion)
Hence, ΔABC is an isosceles triangle.
So, Assertion (A) is also true.
Correct option is (a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A) .

Question. Assertion : In triangles ABC and PQR,∠A = ∠P, ∠C = ∠R and AC = PR. The two triangles are congruent by ASA congruence.
Reason : If two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of the other triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
Answer : We know that “If two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of the other triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.” – This is ASA Congruence Rule
So, Reason is correct
Now, In triangles ABC and PQR,∠A = ∠P, ∠C = ∠R and AC = PR.
∴ By ASA congruence criteria, Δ ABC ≅ Δ PQR

Question. Assertion : ΔABC and ΔDBC are two isosceles triangles on the same base BC and vertices A and D are on the same side of BC. If AD is extended to intersect BC at E, then ΔABD ≅ ΔACD
Reason : If in two right triangles, hypotenuse and one side of a triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and one side of other triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
Answer : We know that “If in two right triangles, hypotenuse and one side of a triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and one side of other triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.” – This is RHS Congruence Rule
So, Reason is correct
In ΔABD and ΔACD,
BD = CD (Given)
AB = AC (Given)

Answer : We know that “If two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of the other triangle, then the two
triangles are congruent.” - This is ASA Congruence Rule. So, Reason is correct.
In △BDL and △CDM, we have
BD = CD (D is midpoint)
DL = DM (Given)
and ∠BLD = ∠CMD (90° each)
∴ △BDL ≅ △CDM (RHS criterion)        ⇒ BL = CM (CPCT)

Reason: Sides opposite to equal angles of a triangle are equal.
Answer : We know that Sides opposite to equal angles of a triangle are equal.
So, Reason is correct.
Now, In ΔABC, ∠A = ∠C (Given)
AB = CB (Sides opposite to equal sides)
⇒ AB = 4 cm
So, Assertion is not correct.
Correct option is (d) Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.

Question. Assertion: In the given figure, BE and CF are two equal altitudes of ΔABC then ΔABE ≅ ΔACF
Reason: If two angles and one side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the corresponding side of the other triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

∠A = ∠A (Common)
∴ △ABE ≅ △ACF (By AAS Congruence rule)

(R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A) .

Answer : We know that “If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of the other triangle, then the two triangles are congruent” - This is SAS Congruence Rule.
So, Reason is correct.
In △AXC and △AYB, we have
AC = AB (Given)
AX = AY (Given)
and ∠BAC = ∠CAB (Common)
∴ △AXC ≅ △AYB (SAS criterion)        ⇒ CX = BY (CPCT)
So, Assertion is also correct

Question. Assertion : In ΔABC, BC = AB and ∠B = 80°. Then, ∠A = 50°
Reason : In a triangle, angles opposite to two equal sides are equal.
Answer : We know that “In a triangle, angles opposite to two equal
sides are equal.”
So, Reason is correct.
In ΔABC, AB = BC
⇒ ∠A = ∠C (Angles opposite to equal sides)
Let ∠A = ∠C = x
Using angle sum property of a triangle,
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°      ⇒ x + 80°+ x = 180° ⇒ 2x = 180°− 80°
⇒ 2x = 100°    ⇒ x = 50°     ⇒ ∠A = 50°
So, Assertion is also correct
Correct option is (a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A) .

Question. Assertion : In the given figure, ABCD is a quadrilateral in which AB || DC and P is the midpoint of BC. On producing, AP and DC meet at Q then DQ = DC + AB.
Reason : If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of the other triangle, then the two triangles are congruent
Answer : We know that “If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of the other triangle, then the two triangles are congruent” - This is SAS Congruence Rule.
So, Reason is correct.
In △ABP and △QCP, we have
∠BPA = ∠CPQ (Vertically opposite angle)
∠PAB = ∠PQC (Alternate angles)
and PB = PC (P is the midpoint)
∴ △ABP ≅ △QCP (AAS criterion)     ⇒ AB = CQ (CPCT)
Now, DQ = DC + CQ     ⇒ DQ = DC + AB (AB = CQ prove above)
So, Assertion is also correct
