Q26 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)



In the given figure, ∆ABC is given with AB=AC and BA is produced to D, such that AB=AD.


Then, BCD=90°.




In the given figure AB=AC and D is a point on BC produced. Then, AB>AD.



According to the question,

AB = AC


ACB = ABC (i)


Now, ACD >ACB =ABC (Side BC is produced to D)


And, In ∆ADC, side DC is produced to B


ACB>ADC (ii)


ABC>ADC


Now, using (i) and (ii),


AD >AB


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


Option C is correct
