5. ASSERTION AND REASON We have,
DB EC
7x - 4 = 5x - 2
DIRECTION : In the following questions, a statement of 3x + 4 3x
assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R). Mark
the correct choice as: 21x2 - 12x = 15x2 + 20x - 6x - 8

(a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and 6x2 - 26x + 8 = 0
reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion 3x2 - 13x + 4 = 0
(A). 3x2 - 12x - x + 4 = 0
(b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but
3x ^x - 4h - 1 ^x - 4h = 0
reason (R) is not the correct explanation of
assertion (A). ^x - 4h^3x - 1h = 0
(c) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false. x = 4, 1

(d) Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.
So, A is incorrect but R is correct.

Ans : (a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true +C = 90c
and reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (By converse of Pythagoras Theorem)
(A). Reason is true.
ar ^3ABC h 2
= AB2 7. Assertion : ABC and DEF are two similar triangles
ar ^3DEF h DE such that BC = 4 cm , EF = 5 cm and area of
36 = AB2 TABC = 64 cm2 , then area of TDEF = 100 cm2 .
49 DE2 Reason : The areas of two similar triangles are in the
AB = 6 ratio of the squares of teh corresponding altitudes.
DE 7 Ans : (b) It both Assertion and Reason are correct,
AB : DE = 6 : 7 but Reason is not the correct explanation of
So, both A and R are correct and R explain A. Assertion.
Reason is true. [standard result]
4. Assertion : 3ABC is an isosceles triangle right angled For Assertion, since TABC + TDEF
of C , then AB2 = 2AC2 .
area (TABC) 2 (4) 2 16
Reason : In right 3ABC , right angled at = BC 2 = =
B, AC2 = AB2 + BC2 . area (TDEF) EF (5) 2 25
Ans : (a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true (ratio of areas of two similar Ts is equal to the ratio
and reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion of the squares of corresponding sides)
(A). 64 = 16
area (TDEF) 25
In an isosceles 3ABC , right angled at C is
AB2 = AC2 + BC2 area (TDEF) = 64 # 25
16
AB2 = AC2 + AC2 = 4 # 25 = 100 cm2
2
AB = 2AC 2
^AC = BC h Assertion is true. But Reason is not correct explanation
So, both A and R are correct and R explains A. for Assertion.

5. Assertion : Two similar triangle are always congruent.
Reason : If the areas of two similar triangles are equal
then the triangles are congruent.
Ans : (d) Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.
Two similar triangles are not congruent generally.
So, A is incorrect but R is correct.
6. Assertion : ABC is an isosceles, right triangle, right
angled at C . Then AB2 = 3AC 2
Reason : In an isosceles triangle ABC if AC = BC
and AB2 = 2AC 2 , then +C = 90c
Ans : (d) If Assertion is incorrect, but Reason is
correct.
In right angled TABC ,
8. Assertion : In the 3ABC , AB = 24 cm , BC = 10 cm
and AC = 26 cm , then 3ABC is a right angle triangle.
Reason : If in two triangles, their corresponding angles
are equal, then the triangles are similar.
Ans : (b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are
true but reason (R) is not the correct explanation of
assertion (A).
We have, AB2 + BC2 = ^24h2 + ^10h2
= 576 + 100 = 676 = AC2
AB2 + BC2 = AC2
ABC is a right angled triangle.
Also, two triangle are similar if their corresponding
angles are equal.
So, both A and R are correct but R does not explain
A.
