Q43 of 109 Page 318

Each question consists of two statements, namely, Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Choose the correct option.











Assertion (A)



Reason (R)



The diagonals of a ||gm bisect each other.



If the diagonals of a ||gm are equal and intersect at right angles, then the parallelogram is a square.


We know that,

The diagonals of a ||gm bisect each other


Also we know that, if the diagonals of a ||gm are equal and intersect at right angles, then the parallelogram is a square


Hence, both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion


Hence, option (b) is correct
