Q25 of 97 Page 195

The question consists of two statements, namely, Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Please select the correct answer.











Assertion (A)



Reason (R)



It is always possible to draw a triangle whose sides measure 4 cm, 5cmand 10cm respectively.



In an isosceles ∆ABC with AB=AC, if BD and CE are bisectors of B and C respectively, then BD=CE.


In ΔBDC and ΔCEB,

DCB = EBC (Given)


BC = CB (Common)


B = C (AC = AB)



CEB = BCE


ΔBDC ΔCEB


BD = CE (By c.p.c.t.)


And, we know that the sum of two sides is always greater than the third side in any triangle.


But, (5 + 4) < 10


Hence, the reason is true, but the assertion is false.


Option D is true
