∴â–³ABE  â–³ADE                     (By SSS congruency)
⇒ AEB = AED                    (CPCT)
 
∠AEB + ∠AED = 180°               (Linear pair)
⇒∠AEB = ∠AED = 90°
 
So, AC and BD are perpendicular to each other.
Thus, Statement-2 is true. 
 
Statement-1 (Assertion): Diagonals of a rectangle are equal and perpendicular to each other.

Consider ∆ACD and âˆ†BCD
AC = BD                                    (opposite sides of a rectangle are equal)
C=D                                   Each 90°
AB = CD                                    (opposite sides of a rectangle are equal)
ACDBCD                       (By SAS congruency)
So, AD = BC
Hence diagonals are equal.

But we cannot prove that AOC=BOD=90° as adjacent sides of the rectangle are not equal.
So, diagonals of a rectangle are equal but not perpendicular to each other.

Thus, Statement-1 is false.

Hence, the correct answer is option (d).

Statement-1 (Assertion): All angles of a quadrilateral can be obtuse angle.
Statement-2 (Reason): Sum of the angles of a quadrilateral is 360º.

Answer:

Statement-2 (Reason): Sum of the angles of a quadrilateral is 360º.

Consider a quadrilateral ABCD such that BD is the diagonal.

In ABD, by Angle sum property of triangle
ABD+BDA+DAB=180°             .....1

In CBD, by Angle sum property of triangle
DBC+BCD+CDB=180°             .....2

Adding (1) and (2) on both the sides
ABD+BDA+DAB+DBC+BCD+CBD=180°+180°              .....1ABD+DBC+BDA+CDB+DAB+BCD=360°ABC+ADC+DAB+BCD=360°

Thus, statement-2 is true.

Statement-1 (Assertion): All angles of a quadrilateral can be obtuse angle.

An obtuse angle is greater than 90° and by angle sum property, the sum of all angles of a quadrilateral is 360°

If we take all four angles greater than 90°  then, their sum will be obviously greater than 360°.


Therefore, all the four angles of a quadrilateral cannot be obtuse angles.

Thus, statement-1 is false.
So, Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true.

Hence, the correct answer is an option (d).

Statement-2 (Reason): Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
Thus, Statement-2 is true.

Statement-1 (Assertion): If the diagonals of a parallelogram are equal, then it is a rectangle.

Consider ABCD is parallelogram  such that AC = BD

In ACB and BDA
AC = BD      (Given)
AB = BA      (Common)
BC = AD      (Opposite sides of a parallelogram)
ACBBDA  By SSS congruence rule
ABC=BAD         By CPCT            ....1  Also, AD||BC BAD+ABC=180°   Cointerior angles are supplementary                .....2From 1 and 22BAD=180°BAD =90°ABC =90°            From 1

∴ Parallelogram ABCD is a rectangle.

Thus, statement-1 is true.
So, Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

Statement-1 (Assertion): In the given figure, if AD is the median of âˆ†ABC and E is the mid-point of AD. BE produced meets AC in F, then AF=13AC.

Statement-2 (Reason): The line through the mid-point of one side of a triangle, parallel to another side, intersects the third side at its mid-point.

Answer:

Statement-2 (Reason): The line through the mid-point of one side of a triangle, parallel to another side, intersects the third side at its mid-point.

According to Mid-point Theorem, the line through the mid-point of one side of a triangle, parallel to another side, intersects the third side at its mid-point.

Thus, Statement-2 is true.

Statement-1 (Assertion): In the given figure, if AD is the median of âˆ†ABC and E is the mid-point of AD. BE produced meets AC in F, then AF=13AC.

Given that, AD is the median of âˆ†ABC and E is the mid-point of AD.
Through D draw DGBF.

In âˆ†ADG
E is the midpoint of AD and DGBF
By converse of midpoint theorem, we have
F is the midpoint of AG
AF=FG                          .....(1)

Similarly in âˆ†BCF
D is the midpoint of BC and DGBF
By converse of midpoint theorem, we have
G is the midpoint of CF 
FG=GC                         .....(2)

From (1) and (2), we have
AF = FG = GC

Now,  AF + FG + GC = AC
⇒ AF + AF +A F = AC
AF=13AC

Thus, Statement-1 is true.
So, Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.

Hence, the correct answer is option (a).

Statement-2 (Reason): The sum of all the angles of a quadrilateral is 360º.

Answer:

Statement-2 (Reason): Sum of the angles of a quadrilateral is 360º.

Consider a quadrilateral ABCD such that BD is the diagonal.

In ABD, by Angle sum property of triangle
ABD+BDA+DAB=180°             .....1

In CBD, by Angle sum property of triangle
DBC+BCD+CDB=180°             .....2

Adding (1) and (2) on both the sides
ABD+BDA+DAB+DBC+BCD+CBD=180°+180°              .....1ABD+DBC+BDA+CDB+DAB+BCD=360°ABC+ADC+DAB+BCD=360°

Thus, statement-2 is true.

Statement-1 (Assertion): If the measures of three angles of a quadrilateral are 130º, 70º and 60º, then the measure of fourth angle is 100º.
Let the measure of fourth angle be x.
According to Statement-2, the sum of the angles of quadrilateral is 360º.
⇒ 130º + 70º + 60º + x = 360º
x = 100º

Thus, Statement-1 is true.
So, Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.

Hence, the correct answer is option (a).

Statement-1 (Assertion): The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
Statement-2 (Reason): If the diagonals of a parallelogram are equal and intersect at right angle, then it is a square.

Answer:

Statement-2 (Reason): If the diagonals of a parallelogram are equal and intersect at right angle, then it is a square.
Consider a parallelogram PQRS such that PR = SQ and ∠SOR = ∠QOR =∠QOP =∠SOP = 90º.
Since PR = SQ and diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
∴ PO = OR =OQ = OS                   .....(1)


In ∆POQ and ∆ROQ     
PO=OR           From1          OQ=QOPOQ=ROQ     Given     

∴ ∆POQ  ∆ROQ           (By SAS congruency rule)
⇒ PQ = RQ           (By CPCT)                     .....(2)
Since PQ = RS and RQ = PS (Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal)                   .....(3)
From (2) and (3)
PQ = RS = RQ = PS

Now,

InOPQ and OQP PO=OQOPQ=OQP   Isosceles property of triangle          .....4Similarly, InOQR and ORQOR=OQOQR=ORQ    Isosceles  property of triangle        .....5In PQRRPQ+PQR+QRP=180°2OQP+OQR=180°OQP+OQR=90°PQR=90°

Thus, Statement-2 is true.

Statement-1 (Assertion): The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

Statement-1 (Assertion): Every parallelogram is a rectangle.
Statement-2 (Reason): The angle bisectors of a parallelogram from a rectangle.

Answer:

Statement-2 (Reason): The angle bisectors of a parallelogram from a rectangle.
Consider a parallelogram ABCD.

Therefore ADBC
Now, ADBC and transversal AB intersects them at A and B respectively. Therefore,
A+B=180°            Sum of consecutive interier angles is 180°Dividing both sides by 212A+12B=90°BAS+ABS=90°         .....1But in ABS, by Angle sum property of triangleBAS+ABS+ASB=180°  90°+ASB=180°  ASB=90°  RSP=ASB=90°      Vertically opposite anglesSimilarly, SRQ=90°, RQP=90° and SPQ=90° 
Now, RSP+SRQ=180°   RSP  and SRQ are cointerior anglesSP|| RQSimilarly, RSP+SPQ=180°   RSP  and SPQ are cointerior anglesSR|| PQ 
⇒ PQRS is a rectangle.
Thus, Statement-2 is true.

Statement-1 (Assertion): Every parallelogram is a rectangle.

The given statement is not true. The correct statement is, "Every rectangle is a parallelogram, but not every parallelogram is a rectangle".
Because each corner angle of a rectangle is of 90º but each corner angle of a parallelogram need not to be 90º always.

Thus, Statement-1 is false.
So, Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true.

Hence, the correct answer is option (d).

Statement-1 (Assertion): In a rhombus ABCD, diagonals, AC bisects the angles ∠A as well as ∠C.
Statement-2 (Reason): The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angle.

Answer:

Statement-2 (Reason): The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angle.
In AOD and COD
⇒  OA = OC          (Diagonals of rhombus bisect each other)

⇒  OD = OD         (Common side)
⇒  AD = CD          (Sides of rhombus)
∴  â–³AOD ≅ â–³COD            (By SSS congruence rule)
 
⇒  ∠AOD = ∠COD             (CPCT )          .....(1)
⇒  ∠AOD + ∠COD = 180º      (Linear pair)
⇒  2∠AOD = 180º          [From (1)]
.
∴  ∠AOD = 90º
Thus, statement-2 is true.

Statement-1 (Assertion): In a rhombus ABCD, diagonals, AC bisects the angles ∠A as well as ∠C.

In âˆ†ACB and âˆ†ACD
AB = AD (Sides of rhombus)
BC = DC (Sides of rhombus)
AC = AC (Common)
ACBACD     By SSS

BAC=DAC      By CPCTAnd BCA=DCA          By CPCT

So, diagonal AC bisects ∠A as well as ∠C of rhombus ABCD.

Thus, statement-1 is true.
So,  Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.

Hence the correct answer is option (b).
