The question consists of two statements, namely, Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Choose the correct answer.
Assertion (A) | Reason (R) |
The area of a trapezium whose parallel sides measure 25cm and 15cm respectively and the distance between them is 6cm, is 120cm2. | The area of an equilateral triangle of side 8cm is 163cm2. |
Area of trapezium = 1/2 × (sum of parallel sides) × height = 1/2 × (25 + 15)×6 = 120cm2
∴ Area of trapezium = 120cm2
∴ Assertion is correct.
Area of an equilateral triangle is given by: × a2 (here ‘a’ is length of the side)
∴ Area of an equilateral triangle with side length 8 cm = × 82 = 16
∴ Reason is correct
∴ Both Assertion but Reason are true and Reason is not a correct explanation of Assertion.
