Key Concept: Rectangle Diagonals, Square Diagonals

c) $147.48^\circ$
[Solution Description]
The diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other but are not perpendicular. To find the angle between them:
1. First, find the length of one diagonal using the Pythagorean theorem: $d = \sqrt{l^2 + w^2} = \sqrt{8^2 + 6^2} = \sqrt{64 + 36} = \sqrt{100} = 10$ cm.
2. The diagonals in a rectangle are equal and bisect each other, forming four congruent triangles.
3. In any of these triangles, two sides are half the length of the diagonal ($5$ cm each), and the third side is the width or length of the rectangle.
4. Using the cosine rule for one triangle with sides $\frac{d}{2} = 5$ cm, $\frac{d}{2} = 5$ cm, and the included side $w = 6$ cm:
$\cos(\theta) = \frac{5^2 + 5^2 - 6^2}{2 \times 5 \times 5} = \frac{25 + 25 - 36}{50} = \frac{14}{50} = 0.28$
5. Therefore, $\theta = \cos^{-1}(0.28) \approx 73.74^\circ$. Since the angle between the diagonals is twice this angle (as the diagonals form two such triangles back-to-back), the angle between the diagonals is $\approx 147.48^\circ$.

Key Concept: Carpenter's Problem - Diagonal Length

c) 8 cm
[Solution Description]
In a rectangle, the diagonals are always equal in length. Therefore, if one diagonal is 8 cm, the other diagonal must also be 8 cm.

Key Concept: Properties of Rectangle

c) Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that in a rectangle, the diagonals are equal and bisect each other. This is true because it is one of the key properties of a rectangle as per the syllabus.
The reason claims that if the diagonals of a quadrilateral are equal and bisect each other, then the quadrilateral must be a rectangle. While this is true for parallelograms (since rectangles are a type of parallelogram), it is not necessarily true for all quadrilaterals. For example, an isosceles trapezoid has equal diagonals but is not a rectangle. Hence, the reason is false.
Therefore, Assertion is true, but Reason is false.

Key Concept: Rectangle properties, Diagonal congruence

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that $\triangle AOB \cong \triangle COD$ by SAS congruence in rectangle $ABCD$.
Step 1: Properties of rectangle diagonals - Diagonals are equal in length ($AC = BD$) and bisect each other at point $O$. So, $AO = OC$ and $BO = OD$.
Step 2: Since opposite sides of rectangle are equal, $AB = CD$.
Step 3: Included angle between sides $AO$ and $BO$ is $\angle AOB$, which is equal to $\angle COD$ (vertically opposite angles).
Thus, by SAS criteria ($AO = OC$, $\angle AOB = \angle COD$, $BO = OD$), $\triangle AOB \cong \triangle COD$.
The reason correctly states that diagonals are equal and bisect each other, but this property alone does not directly explain why SAS congruence holds because it doesn't mention the vertically opposite angles or the equality of opposite sides. Hence, both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation.

Key Concept: Square vs Rectangle

a) A square has all sides equal, while a rectangle does not.
[Solution Description]
A square is a special type of rectangle where all sides are equal. While all squares are rectangles, not all rectangles are squares. Rectangles only require opposite sides to be equal and all angles to be $90^\circ$.

Key Concept: Properties of Squares

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that the diagonals of a square bisect each other at $90^\circ$, which is true because the diagonals of a square are perpendicular bisectors. The reason states that the diagonals are equal in length and bisect the angles, which is also true as it's a property of squares. However, the reason does not correctly explain why the diagonals bisect each other at $90^\circ$ (it only mentions their equality and angle bisection). Thus, both statements are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion.

Key Concept: Square properties

c) All its sides are equal.
[Solution Description]
A square has all the properties of a rectangle (right angles, equal opposite sides, and equal diagonals that bisect each other), but additionally, all its sides are equal, and its diagonals are perpendicular and bisect the angles.

Key Concept: Properties of Rectangles

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that the diagonals of rectangle $ABCD$, $AC$ and $BD$, are equal in length, which is a known property of rectangles. Therefore, the assertion is true.
The reason states that the diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other, which is also a known property of rectangles. However, this property does not explain why the diagonals are equal in length—it is an independent property. Thus, the reason is true, but it is not the correct explanation for the assertion.

Key Concept: Angles Between Diagonals

c) $90^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In a square, the diagonals bisect each other at right angles ($90^\circ$). This is a unique property of squares compared to other rectangles.

Key Concept: Rectangle and Rhombus Properties, Non-Straightforward Path

c) Rhombus
[Solution Description]
Step 1: Diagonals bisecting each other imply it could be a rectangle, rhombus, or square.
Step 2: Diagonals bisecting at right angles eliminate rectangles (their diagonals are equal but don’t bisect at right angles unless it's a square).
Step 3: Unequal diagonals further eliminate squares (their diagonals are equal).
Conclusion: It must be a rhombus (diagonals bisect at right angles and are unequal).

Key Concept: Diagonals of a Rhombus

c) The diagonals bisect each other.
[Solution Description]
Both squares and rhombuses have diagonals that bisect each other. However, while squares also have equal-length diagonals, rhombuses do not necessarily have this property unless they are squares themselves.

Key Concept: Congruency of Triangles

c) Rectangle
[Solution Description]
A quadrilateral whose diagonals are equal and bisect each other must be a rectangle. While squares also satisfy this condition, the general case is a rectangle because squares have additional properties like all sides being equal and diagonals intersecting at $90^\circ$.

Key Concept: Angles between diagonals of a rhombus

d) $120^\circ$
[Solution Description]
The diagonals of a rhombus bisect the vertex angles and intersect at $90^\circ$ in a standard case. However, given an intersection angle of $60^\circ$, we calculate:
For triangle formed by half-diagonals, let the base angles be $a$.
Then, $a + a + 60^\circ = 180^\circ$ implies $2a = 120^\circ$, so $a = 60^\circ$.
Thus, each interior angle adjacent to the $60^\circ$ angle is $60^\circ + 60^\circ = 120^\circ$.

Key Concept: Properties of diagonals in a square

b) $90^\circ$, $90^\circ$, $90^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In a square, the diagonals are equal, bisect each other, and intersect at $90^\circ$. Therefore, the angles at the intersection are all equal. If one angle is $x = 90^\circ$, the other three angles will also be $90^\circ$ due to vertically opposite angles and linear pairs.

Key Concept: Diagonals, Congruence, Angle Properties

c) $36 \, \text{cm}^2$
[Solution Description]
The area of a rhombus is half the product of its diagonals. Given the shorter diagonal $d_1 = 6$ cm, the longer diagonal $d_2 = 2d_1 = 12$ cm.
The area is calculated as:
$\text{Area} = \frac{d_1 \times d_2}{2} = \frac{6 \times 12}{2} = 36 \, \text{cm}^2.$

Key Concept: Diagonal Intersection, Angle Calculation

c) $100^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In a rectangle, the diagonals bisect each other and are equal in length, forming congruent isosceles triangles. For the given quadrilateral formed by the diagonals, the angles are $80^\circ$, $100^\circ$, $80^\circ$, and $100^\circ$.
Since the sum of angles around a point is $360^\circ$, the angle between the diagonals is:
$x + 180 - x = 180^\circ.$
Here, the given angles suggest two pairs of supplementary angles ($80^\circ + 100^\circ = 180^\circ$), which implies the angle between the diagonals alternates as $80^\circ$ and $100^\circ$. Thus, $x$ is either $80^\circ$ or $100^\circ$.
However, for a rectangle, the answer must align with the property that diagonals form congruent isosceles triangles, so $x = 100^\circ$ is correct (as the acute angle would be $80^\circ$).

Key Concept: Properties of square diagonals

c) $90^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In a square, the diagonals bisect each other at $90^\circ$. Therefore, the angle between the diagonals is $90^\circ$.

Key Concept: Properties of Rectangle

b) 10 cm
[Solution Description]
In a rectangle, the diagonals are equal in length. Therefore, if one diagonal is 10 cm, the other diagonal must also be 10 cm.

Key Concept: Properties of Rectangles and Squares

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The Assertion states that if a quadrilateral has equal-length diagonals that bisect each other at 90°, it must be a square. This is true because such properties are unique to squares among all quadrilaterals. The Reason correctly explains the Assertion as it lists the defining properties of the diagonals of a square. Therefore, both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

Key Concept: Properties of Rectangles

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
In a rectangle, the diagonals are always equal in length. This is a proven property of rectangles. The diagonals also bisect each other, but this property alone does not explain why they are equal in length. Both statements are true, but the Reason does not correctly explain the Assertion.

Key Concept: Rectangle Definition

c) 8 cm
[Solution Description]
In a rectangle, both diagonals are equal in length. Since one diagonal is given as 8 cm, the other diagonal must also be 8 cm.

Key Concept: Quadrilateral Angles, Side Lengths

b) Opposite sides are equal.
[Solution Description]
A quadrilateral with all angles equal to $90^\circ$ is a rectangle, where opposite sides are equal in length. This can be proved by dividing the quadrilateral into two congruent right triangles using a diagonal and applying the properties of congruent triangles. Thus, opposite sides must be equal.

Key Concept: Rectangle Diagonals, Angle between Diagonals

c) $90^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In a quadrilateral with all angles equal to $90^\circ$ (rectangle), the diagonals are equal in length and bisect each other. The angle between the diagonals can be determined by considering two congruent right triangles formed by the diagonals. Let the point of intersection be O. Using properties of rectangles, $\angle AOB$ and $\angle BOC$ are equal and supplementary ($\angle AOB + \angle BOC = 180^\circ$). Hence, each angle must be $90^\circ$.

Key Concept: Square Construction, Diagonal Properties

c) 8 cm
[Solution Description]
In a square, both diagonals are equal in length. Therefore, if one diagonal is 8 cm, the other diagonal must also be 8 cm. This is because squares have all properties of rectangles plus the additional property that all sides are equal, leading to equal diagonals.

Key Concept: Rectangle Properties

a) Diagonals bisect each other at $90^\circ$
[Solution Description]
A rectangle has the following properties: all angles are $90^\circ$, opposite sides are equal and parallel, and diagonals are equal and bisect each other. The option that does not match any of these properties is the correct answer.

Key Concept: Properties of a Square

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that the diagonals of a square bisect each other at right angles. This is true as per Property 4 of a square mentioned in the syllabus. The reason given is that a square is a special type of rectangle where all sides are equal and all angles are $90^\circ$. This is also true as per the definition and properties of a square. However, the reason does not directly explain why the diagonals bisect each other at right angles; it only defines what a square is. Therefore, both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

Key Concept: Square Properties

a) $3\sqrt{2}\ \text{cm}$
[Solution Description]
For any square, diagonals are equal and bisect each other perpendicularly. Given AB = 6 cm (side length), we find diagonal AC first using Pythagorean theorem:
$AC = \sqrt{AB^2 + BC^2} = \sqrt{6^2 + 6^2} = \sqrt{72} = 6\sqrt{2}\ \text{cm}$.
Since diagonals bisect each other, AO = half of AC = $\frac{6\sqrt{2}}{2} = 3\sqrt{2}\ \text{cm}$.
Calculation steps:
1) Calculate diagonal AC using Pythagoras: $AC = \sqrt{6^2 + 6^2} = 6\sqrt{2}\ \text{cm}$.
2) Find AO as half of AC: $AO = 3\sqrt{2}\ \text{cm}$.

Key Concept: Diagonals of a Rectangle

b) 28 cm
[Solution Description]
A rectangle has equal diagonals that bisect each other. Given diagonal = 10 cm and one side = 6 cm. Using the Pythagorean theorem:
Let the sides be $x$ and $y$ ($x = 6$ cm).
$$ x^2 + y^2 = 10^2$$
$$ 36 + y^2 = 100$$
$$ y^2 = 64 \Rightarrow y = 8 \text{ cm}$$
Perimeter = $2(x + y) = 2(6 + 8) = 28$ cm.

Key Concept: Square and Rectangle Properties

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that if a quadrilateral has all sides equal and all angles equal to $90^{\circ}$, it must be a square. This is true because by definition, a square is a rectangle with all sides equal.
The reason states that every square is a rectangle (since it meets the rectangle's condition of having all angles equal to $90^{\circ}$ and opposite sides parallel and equal), but not every rectangle is a square (as rectangles can have unequal adjacent sides). This correctly explains why the assertion is true. Hence, both statements are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion.

Key Concept: Special Rectangle and Square Properties

c) Opposite sides are equal
[Solution Description]
We need to identify a property that is common to both squares and rectangles.
Property 1: All angles are $90^\circ$. This is true for both squares and rectangles.
Property 2: Opposite sides are equal. This is also true for both.
Property 3: Diagonals bisect each other. This is true for both.
However, only in a square are all sides equal and diagonals perpendicular. So, the correct statement must be one that applies to both but not exclusively to either.
The most general correct statement common to both is that "Opposite sides are equal."

Key Concept: Properties of Rectangles and Squares

b) 10 cm
[Solution Description]
To find the diagonal of a rectangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. The diagonal divides the rectangle into two right-angled triangles.
Step 1: Let the sides of the rectangle be $a = 6$ cm and $b = 8$ cm.
Step 2: The diagonal $d$ can be calculated using the formula:
$d = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$
Step 3: Substituting the values:
$d = \sqrt{6^2 + 8^2} = \sqrt{36 + 64} = \sqrt{100} = 10 \text{ cm}$
Thus, the diagonal is $10$ cm.

Key Concept: Properties of a Rectangle

c) They are equal in length and bisect each other
[Solution Description]
The diagonals of a rectangle have two key properties: they are equal in length and bisect each other. This means they divide each other into two equal parts at the point of intersection.

Key Concept: Quadrilateral Angle Sum, Variable Substitution

b) $50^\circ$
[Solution Description]
The sum of all angles in a quadrilateral is $360^\circ$. Let the fourth angle be $x$.
We can write the equation: $70^\circ + 110^\circ + 130^\circ + x = 360^\circ$.
Adding the known angles: $310^\circ + x = 360^\circ$.
Subtract $310^\circ$ from both sides: $x = 50^\circ$.
Therefore, the fourth angle is $50^\circ$.

Key Concept: Diagonals of a quadrilateral

b) Opposite sides are equal
[Solution Description]
If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, then the opposite sides of the quadrilateral are equal in length. This property is characteristic of parallelograms, rectangles, rhombuses, and squares.

Key Concept: Angles in a Quadrilateral

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The sum of the given angles is calculated as follows:
$70^\circ + 80^\circ + 100^\circ + 110^\circ = 360^\circ$.
Since the total equals $360^\circ$, the quadrilateral is valid, confirming the Assertion (A).
The Reason (R) states the fundamental property that the sum of interior angles in any quadrilateral is always $360^\circ$, which justifies why the given quadrilateral is valid. Hence, both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason correctly explains Assertion.

Key Concept: Quadrilateral Angle Sum, Triangle Angle Property

b) $90^\circ$
[Solution Description]
We know that the sum of all angles in a quadrilateral is $360^\circ$. Let angles R and S be $x$ each. So, we can write the equation:
$60^\circ + 120^\circ + x + x = 360^\circ$.
Simplifying this: $180^\circ + 2x = 360^\circ$.
Subtract $180^\circ$ from both sides: $2x = 180^\circ$.
Divide by 2: $x = 90^\circ$.
Therefore, angle R is $90^\circ$.

Key Concept: Sum of angles in a quadrilateral

b) $360^\circ$
[Solution Description]
The sum of the interior angles of any quadrilateral is always $360^\circ$. This is because splitting the quadrilateral into two triangles (by drawing a diagonal) gives two triangles, each with angles summing to $180^\circ$.

Key Concept: Impossible quadrilateral configuration

c) 120°, 110°, 100°, 20°
[Solution Description]
For a valid quadrilateral, the sum of all four angles must be $360°$.
Checking each option:
Option a) $90° + 90° + 90° + 90° = 360°$ (valid).
Option b) $100° + 80° + 70° + 110° = 360°$ (valid).
Option c) $120° + 110° + 100° + 20° = 350° \neq 360°$ (invalid).
Option d) $95° + 85° + 90° + 90° = 360°$ (valid).
Thus, option c does not satisfy the sum condition.

Key Concept: Parallelogram angles

c) $110^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In a parallelogram, adjacent angles are supplementary (add up to $180^\circ$). Given $∠A = 70^\circ$, then $∠B = 180^\circ - 70^\circ = 110^\circ$.

Key Concept: Sum of angles in a quadrilateral

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
To verify the assertion, let's calculate the fourth angle:
Sum of given angles = $80° + 100° + 90° = 270°$.
Since the total sum of angles in a quadrilateral is $360°$, the fourth angle must be $360° - 270° = 90°$. This matches the assertion.
The reason states that the sum of interior angles in any quadrilateral is $360°$, which is true and correctly explains why the fourth angle must be $90°$ in this case.
Therefore, both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

Key Concept: Angles in a Quadrilateral, Sum of Angles

d) Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
[Solution Description]
To verify, assume a quadrilateral has three right angles ($90^{\circ}$ each). Let the fourth angle be $x$. According to the property of quadrilaterals, the sum of all four angles must be $360^{\circ}$. Thus:
$90^{\circ} + 90^{\circ} + 90^{\circ} + x = 360^{\circ}.$
Simplifying:
$270^{\circ} + x = 360^{\circ},$
which gives:
$x = 90^{\circ}.$
Therefore, if three angles are $90^{\circ}$, the fourth must also be $90^{\circ}$. Hence, it is impossible for a quadrilateral to have exactly three right angles and one non-right angle. The Assertion is false, but the Reason is true.

Key Concept: Angles in a Quadrilateral

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The Assertion states that it is impossible to have a quadrilateral with three right angles and one non-right angle. This is true because, as per the Reason, the sum of all angles in a quadrilateral must be $360^\circ$. If three angles are each $90^\circ$, their total would be $270^\circ$, leaving the fourth angle as $90^\circ$ ($360^\circ - 270^\circ = 90^\circ$). Therefore, the fourth angle cannot be anything other than $90^\circ$. Here, the Reason correctly explains why the Assertion is true.

Key Concept: Sum of angles in a quadrilateral

c) $360^\circ$
[Solution Description]
The sum of all angles in any quadrilateral is always $360^\circ$. This can be derived by dividing the quadrilateral into two triangles and adding their angle sums ($180^\circ + 180^\circ = 360^\circ$).

Key Concept: Constructing quadrilaterals

c) All four angles must be right angles if three are already right angles.
[Solution Description]
A quadrilateral cannot have three right angles and one non-right angle because the sum of its angles must be $360^\circ$. Hence, if three angles are $90^\circ$, the fourth must also be $90^\circ$.

Key Concept: Properties of Parallelograms, Supplementary Angles

d) $120^\circ$
[Solution Description] In a parallelogram, adjacent angles are supplementary, which means they add up to $180^\circ$. Given $\angle A = 60^\circ$, we can find $\angle B$ using the property:
$\angle A + \angle B = 180^\circ \implies 60^\circ + \angle B = 180^\circ \implies \angle B = 120^\circ$

Key Concept: Properties of Parallelogram

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
In a parallelogram, the adjacent angles add up to $180^\circ$ because they are consecutive interior angles formed by a transversal intersecting two parallel lines. This property allows us to deduce that the opposite angles must be equal: if one angle is $x$, then its adjacent angle is $180^\circ - x$. The angle opposite to $x$ will also be $x$ because it is adjacent to $180^\circ - x$ ($180^\circ - (180^\circ - x) = x$). Therefore, both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason correctly explains why the opposite angles in a parallelogram are equal.

Key Concept: Diagonals of Rhombus

c) $10$ cm
[Solution Description]
The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at $90^\circ$. So, half-diagonals are $6$ cm and $8$ cm. Using the Pythagorean theorem:
Side length = $\sqrt{6^2 + 8^2} = \sqrt{36 + 64} = \sqrt{100} = 10$ cm.

Key Concept: Opposite Angles in Parallelogram

a) $70^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal. So, if $\angle A = 70^\circ$, then $\angle C$ will also be $70^\circ$ because they are opposite angles.

Key Concept: Properties of Parallelogram

b) $5\,cm$
[Solution Description]
According to Property 1 of parallelograms, opposite sides are equal. Hence, if $AB = 5\,cm$, then $CD$ must also be equal to $5\,cm$.

Key Concept: Parallelogram Properties

d) Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
[Solution Description]
Assertion (A) claims that the diagonals of a parallelogram are equal in length. However, according to the syllabus, while the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other (Property 4), they need not be equal in length (as stated under "Note"). Therefore, the assertion is false.
Reason (R) states that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, which is true as per Property 4 in the syllabus.
Thus, Assertion is false while Reason is true.

Key Concept: Adjacent Angles in Parallelogram

b) $92^{\circ}$
[Solution Description]
In a parallelogram, adjacent angles are supplementary, meaning they add up to $180^{\circ}$. Therefore, $\angle A + \angle D = 180^{\circ}$.
Given:
$\angle A = (3x + 10)^{\circ}$
$\angle D = (2x + 40)^{\circ}$
Set up the equation:
$(3x + 10) + (2x + 40) = 180$
Combine like terms:
$5x + 50 = 180$
Subtract $50$ from both sides:
$5x = 130$
Divide by $5$ on both sides:
$x = 26$
Now find $\angle A$:
$\angle A = 3(26) + 10 = 88^{\circ}$
In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal, so $\angle B = \angle D$.
Thus, $\angle B = 2(26) + 40 = 92^{\circ}$
The measure of $\angle B$ is $92^{\circ}$.

Key Concept: Definition of Parallelogram

c) A quadrilateral in which opposite sides are parallel
[Solution Description]
A parallelogram is defined as a quadrilateral in which opposite sides are parallel.

Key Concept: Properties, Angles

b) Rhombus
[Solution Description]
Step 1: Quadrilateral with diagonals bisecting each other is a parallelogram. So, $ABCD$ is initially a parallelogram.
Step 2: Since $\angle AOB = 90°$, the diagonals intersect at right angles. A parallelogram with perpendicular diagonals is either a rhombus or a square.
Step 3: However, without knowing whether all sides are equal or angles are $90°$, we cannot confirm if it is a square. But the given condition guarantees at least rhombus properties.
Step 4: Therefore, $ABCD$ must be a rhombus among the options provided.

Key Concept: Rectangles as a type of parallelogram

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
A rectangle is a quadrilateral with all angles equal to $90^\circ$ and opposite sides parallel and equal, which satisfies the definition of a parallelogram. The reason correctly states that a rectangle has opposite sides parallel and equal. Since both statements are true, and the Reason correctly explains why the Assertion is true, the correct answer is option a).

Key Concept: Properties of Rectangles

c) All angles are equal to $90^{\circ}$ and diagonals are equal.
[Solution Description]
A rectangle is a parallelogram with all angles equal to $90^{\circ}$. It satisfies all properties of a parallelogram, and additionally, its diagonals are equal in length.

Key Concept: Rectangle as a Parallelogram

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
A rectangle satisfies the definition of a parallelogram because it has two pairs of opposite sides that are parallel and equal in length (Property 3 of Rectangle). Additionally, the diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other (Property 4 of Rectangle), which is also true for any parallelogram. However, the Reason does not explain why a rectangle is a "special" type of parallelogram (i.e., due to its all angles being $90^\circ$). Thus, while both Assertion and Reason are true, the Reason does not fully explain the Assertion.

Key Concept: Angle Properties in Rhombus

d) $120^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Adjacent angles in a rhombus are supplementary (add up to $180^\circ$). Given $\angle A = 60^\circ$, we can find $\angle B$ using the property:
$\angle A + \angle B = 180^\circ$
$60^\circ + \angle B = 180^\circ$
$\angle B = 180^\circ - 60^\circ = 120^\circ$.
The opposite angles in a rhombus are equal, so $\angle D = \angle B = 120^\circ$.

Key Concept: Properties of Quadrilaterals

c) Either a Square or a Rhombus.
[Solution Description]
Diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles and also bisect its angles. A square also has this property since it is a special type of rhombus. However, not all quadrilaterals with perpendicular bisecting diagonals are squares—they could also be rhombuses. Rectangles have diagonals that bisect each other but not necessarily at right angles unless they are squares.

Key Concept: Venn Diagram of Quadrilaterals

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The Assertion states that a square is both a rhombus and a rectangle because it meets the criteria of all three types of quadrilaterals. This is true since a square has all sides equal (rhombus property), all angles equal to $90^\circ$ (rectangle property), and opposite sides parallel (parallelogram property). The Reason explains that in a Venn diagram, squares lie in the intersection of rhombuses and rectangles, which correctly represents their hierarchical relationship. Since a square inherits properties from both rhombuses and rectangles, the Venn diagram must show this overlap, making the Reason the correct explanation of the Assertion.

Key Concept: Venn Diagram, Classification

c) Every square is a rhombus.
[Solution Description]
A square is a special type of rhombus where all angles are $90^\circ$. However, not all rhombuses are squares because a rhombus does not require all angles to be $90^\circ$. Therefore, every square is a rhombus, but not every rhombus is a square.

Key Concept: Properties of Rhombus

a) 50°, 50°, 130°, 130°
[Solution Description]
In a rhombus, opposite angles are equal, and adjacent angles add up to 180°. Given one angle is 50°, its opposite angle is also 50°. The adjacent angle will be $180° - 50° = 130°$. Therefore, the angles are 50°, 130°, 50°, and 130°.

Key Concept: Diagonals and side length relationship

b) $2\sqrt{5}$ cm
[Solution Description]
Area of rhombus = $\frac{d_1 \times d_2}{2}$. Let $d_1 = x$ cm, then $d_2 = 2x$ cm.
So, $\frac{x \times 2x}{2} = 16 \implies x^2 = 16 \implies x = 4$ cm.
Thus, $d_1 = 4$ cm, $d_2 = 8$ cm.
Now, half-diagonals are $2$ cm and $4$ cm.
Side length = $\sqrt{2^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{4 + 16} = \sqrt{20} = 2\sqrt{5}$ cm.

Key Concept: Comparison with Square

c) A square has all angles equal to $90^\circ$
[Solution Description]
A square is a special case of a rhombus where all angles are $90^\circ$. Therefore, the key difference lies in the angle measures.

Key Concept: Properties of Rhombus and Square

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The Assertion states that every square is a rhombus, which is true because a square has all sides equal, satisfying the definition of a rhombus. The Reason states that a rhombus with all angles equal to $90^\circ$ is a square, which is also true as this defines a square. Moreover, the Reason correctly explains why the Assertion is true, since it describes the condition under which a rhombus becomes a square.

Key Concept: Basic Properties of a Rhombus

c) Opposite sides are parallel
[Solution Description]
A rhombus has all sides equal, opposite sides parallel, adjacent angles supplementary, and diagonals bisecting each other at right angles. Among the given options, only one correctly states a property that applies to all rhombuses.
Checking each option:
1) "All angles are 90 degrees" is incorrect because a rhombus does not necessarily have all angles as 90 degrees (that would make it a square).
2) "Diagonals are equal in length" is incorrect because diagonals of a rhombus are generally not equal unless it is a square.
3) "Opposite sides are parallel" is correct as this is a fundamental property of all rhombuses.
4) "Only two sides are equal" is incorrect because all four sides must be equal in a rhombus.
Thus, the correct answer is option c).

Key Concept: Opposite Angles of a Rhombus

b) $60^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In a rhombus, opposite angles are equal. Given $\angle A = 60^\circ$, its opposite angle $\angle C$ will also be $60^\circ$.

Key Concept: Diagonals of a Rhombus

c) $90^\circ$
[Solution Description]
The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles ($90^\circ$).

Key Concept: Properties of Rhombus, Diagonals

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
First, analyze the Assertion: A rhombus has diagonals that are perpendicular bisectors and divide the rhombus into four congruent right-angled triangles. However, unless it is a square, the diagonals are unequal. So, the Assertion is true.
Next, examine the Reason: It states that the diagonals bisect each other at right angles, which is a fundamental property of a rhombus. Hence, the Reason is also true.
Now, check if the Reason explains the Assertion: The fact that diagonals bisect at right angles does not imply they must be unequal (e.g., in a square, they are equal). Therefore, although both statements are true, the Reason does not explain why the diagonals are unequal.
Thus, the correct option is: Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.

Key Concept: Opposite angles, Diagonal properties

b) 60
[Solution Description]
In a rhombus, diagonals bisect each other at $90^\circ$ and also bisect the angles. So $\angle QPR = 2 \times \angle QPO = 60^\circ$. Since all sides are equal, triangle $PQR$ is isosceles with $PQ = QR$. Therefore, $\angle PQR = 180^\circ - 2(30^\circ) = 120^\circ$. The diagonals intersect at right angles, so in triangle $ROQ$, $\angle ROQ = 180^\circ - 90^\circ - 30^\circ = 60^\circ$.

Key Concept: Properties of Rhombus

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
A rhombus has the property that its diagonals bisect each other at $90^{\circ}$. This means the diagonals intersect at right angles and divide each other into two equal parts. Additionally, the diagonals divide the rhombus into four congruent right-angled triangles because all sides of a rhombus are equal, and the diagonals bisect the angles. Therefore, both the Assertion and Reason are true, and the Reason correctly explains the Assertion.

Key Concept: Angle properties, External points

c) 60$^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Since $XWZB$ is a straight line, $\angle BXW = 180^\circ$. Triangle $AXB$ is equilateral (since $XA = XB$ and $\angle AXB = 60^\circ$). In rhombus $XYZW$, adjacent angles add up to $180^\circ$ and opposite angles are equal. Let $\angle YXW = y$. Then $\angle WXZ = 180^\circ - y$. Also, $\angle AXW = 60^\circ + y$ (exterior angle). But $\angle AXW$ must equal $\angle BXW - \angle BXA = 180^\circ - 60^\circ = 120^\circ$. Thus $60^\circ + y = 120^\circ$ → $y = 60^\circ$.

Key Concept: Diagonals of Rhombus

c) $90^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Property 4 states that the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles ($90^\circ$). Therefore, the angle between the diagonals is $90^\circ$.

Key Concept: Quadrilateral Transformation

a) Kite

[Solution Description]

Extending one diagonal changes the property of equal diagonals. Now, the figure has diagonals that are perpendicular but not equal, which defines a kite.

Key Concept: Quadrilateral Identification

d) Square
[Solution Description]
When two diagonals are perpendicular and of equal length, the quadrilateral formed is a square because all sides and angles are equal.

Key Concept: Construction of Parallelograms

b) At the midpoints of both strips
[Solution Description]
To form a parallelogram, the strips must be joined at their midpoints. The lengths of the strips determine the sides of the parallelogram, but the key property is that opposite sides must be parallel and equal in length, which is ensured when the strips intersect at their midpoints.

Key Concept: Diagonals of Quadrilaterals, Properties of Squares and Rhombuses

c) Rhombus
[Solution Description]
The properties described here are:
- Diagonals are perpendicular to each other.
- Diagonals bisect each other.
- Diagonals are not equal in length.
From the given conditions, the quadrilateral cannot be a square because squares have equal-length diagonals. It also cannot be a rectangle since rectangles do not necessarily have perpendicular diagonals. However, a rhombus satisfies all the given conditions: its diagonals are perpendicular bisectors but are not equal in length. Therefore, the quadrilateral must be a rhombus.

Key Concept: Joining Triangles: Types of Quadrilaterals

b) Rhombus
[Solution Description]
Joining two equilateral triangles along one common side results in a rhombus. Since all sides of the equilateral triangle are equal (8 cm), the resulting quadrilateral has four sides of equal length, making it a rhombus. Additionally, the angles will be $60^\circ$ and $120^\circ$.

Key Concept: Geoboard Activity, Quadrilateral Properties

d) Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that such a quadrilateral must be a square, but the reason only guarantees it is a rectangle (as per syllabus observations). For it to be a square, additional conditions (all sides equal) are needed. Thus, the assertion is false, but the reason is true as it correctly describes properties leading to a rectangle.

Key Concept: Joining Triangles to Form Quadrilaterals

c) Rhombus
[Solution Description]
When two equilateral triangles are joined along one side, the resulting figure will have four sides. Each angle of an equilateral triangle is $60^\circ$. When two such triangles are joined, the adjacent angles add up to $120^\circ$. The opposite angles will also be $120^\circ$ each, making the quadrilateral a rhombus but not a square, as the angles are not $90^\circ$.

Key Concept: Properties of Quadrilaterals

c) Square
[Solution Description]
The diagonals of a quadrilateral are equal in length and bisect each other at 90\textdegree. This property is satisfied by a square, where all sides and angles are equal.

Key Concept: Construction of quadrilaterals using triangles

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
When two equilateral triangles are joined along a common side, the resulting quadrilateral will have all four sides equal because each side of the quadrilateral is either a side of the original equilateral triangle or the newly formed side from joining. Since an equilateral triangle has all three sides equal, this property ensures that all sides of the quadrilateral are equal. Moreover, the opposite angles of the quadrilateral will be equal due to the symmetry of the equilateral triangles. Therefore, the quadrilateral formed is a rhombus as it satisfies the conditions mentioned in the Reason. Thus, both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason correctly explains the Assertion.

Key Concept: Constructing quadrilaterals using isosceles triangles

b) Kite
[Solution Description]
When two identical isosceles triangles (with sides 8 cm, 8 cm, 6 cm) are joined along their unequal sides (6 cm), the resulting quadrilateral will have two pairs of adjacent sides equal. This forms a kite because $AB = BC$ (8 cm each) and $CD = DA$ (8 cm each).

Key Concept: Joining Triangles, Trapezium Properties

c) Isosceles trapezium
[Solution Description]
When two isosceles triangles with sides 8 cm, 8 cm, and 6 cm are joined along their unequal sides (6 cm), the resulting quadrilateral is an isosceles trapezium. In an isosceles trapezium, the non-parallel sides are equal, and the base angles are equal. The diagonals are also equal in length.

Key Concept: Constructing Quadrilaterals

c) Rhombus
[Solution Description]
When two equilateral triangles are joined along a common side, all sides of the resulting quadrilateral will be equal (8 cm). Also, since each angle of an equilateral triangle is $60^\circ$, the angles at the vertices where the triangles are joined will add up to $120^\circ$. The other two angles remain $60^\circ$ each. The quadrilateral formed is a rhombus but not a square because its angles are not $90^\circ$.

Key Concept: Isosceles Trapezium Properties

b) $\angle U = \angle V$
[Solution Description]
In an isosceles trapezium, the non-parallel sides are equal, and the angles opposite these sides are equal. Thus, $\angle U = \angle V$.

Key Concept: Kite and Trapezium

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
In a kite $ABCD$, by definition, $AB = BC$ and $CD = DA$. The diagonal $BD$ divides the kite into two congruent triangles $\triangle ABD$ and $\triangle CBD$ by SSS congruence because $AB = CB$, $AD = CD$, and $BD$ is common. Since these triangles are congruent, $\angle ABD = \angle CBD$ and $\angle ADB = \angle CDB$, which means $BD$ bisects $\angle ABC$ and $\angle ADC$. However, the Reason states that $\triangle AOB$ and $\triangle COB$ are congruent by SSS, but it does not directly explain why $BD$ bisects the angles. Instead, $\triangle AOB$ and $\triangle COB$ are congruent by SAS (since $AB = CB$, $\angle ABO = \angle CBO$, and $BO$ is common), which shows that $AO = OC$ and that $BD$ is perpendicular to $AC$.
Hence, while both Assertion and Reason are true, the Reason does not correctly explain the Assertion since it incorrectly uses SSS instead of SAS.

Key Concept: Kite Properties

c) $120^\circ$
[Solution Description]
The properties of a kite state that the angles opposite to the equal sides are equal. Given $\angle ABC = 120^\circ$, its opposite angle $\angle ADC$ will also be $120^\circ$.

Key Concept: Kite and Trapezium combined, Angle calculation

c) 120$^\circ$
[Solution Description]
The quadrilateral described is a combination of kite and trapezium properties. As it has two pairs of adjacent sides equal, it must be a kite. But it also has one pair of parallel sides, making it a trapezium. Hence, it is an isosceles trapezium where non-parallel sides are equal. Given one angle as $120^\circ$, the adjacent angle on the same side of the transversal will be $60^\circ$ (since they add up to $180^\circ$). The opposite angles in an isosceles trapezium are supplementary, so the largest angle will be $120^\circ$.

Key Concept: Kite diagonals, congruence

b) $10$ cm[Solution Description]The area of a kite is given by half the product of its diagonals. Here, $PR = PO + RO = 5 + 5 = 10$ cm and the area is 50 cm\textsuperscript{2}.
Using the formula: $\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times PR \times QS$.
So, $50 = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times QS \implies 100 = 10 \times QS \implies QS = 10$ cm.

Key Concept: Property of Diagonals in Kite

b) Bisects $\angle ABC$ and $\angle ADC$
[Solution Description]
According to the properties of a kite, diagonal BD bisects $\angle ABC$ and $\angle ADC$. Additionally, it bisects the other diagonal AC, making $AO = OC$, and is perpendicular to AC.

Key Concept: Congruency in Kite

c) Both sides and angles are equal.
[Solution Description]
In kite ABCD, diagonal BD bisects $\angle ABC$ and $\angle ADC$. Hence, $\angle ABO = \angle CBO$. Also, $AB = BC$ by definition. Since BD is common to both $\Delta AOB$ and $\Delta COB$, they are congruent by SAS (Side-Angle-Side) rule. Therefore, corresponding parts like $AO = OC$ and $\angle AOB = \angle COB$ (both right angles).

Key Concept: Kite Properties

d) Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that the diagonals of a kite bisect each other at right angles. According to the properties of a kite, one diagonal bisects the other and is perpendicular to it, but only one diagonal gets bisected (not both). Hence, the assertion is false.
The reason states that a kite has two pairs of adjacent sides equal, which is true as per the definition of a kite. Therefore, the assertion is false, but the reason is true.

Key Concept: Isosceles trapezium properties

b) $70^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In an isosceles trapezium, the angles opposite to the equal sides are equal. Therefore, $\angle U = \angle V$. Given that $\angle U = 70^\circ$, it follows that $\angle V$ is also $70^\circ$.

Key Concept: Isosceles Trapezium Property

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
An isosceles trapezium has two parallel sides (UV$\parallel$XW) and two non-parallel sides (UX = VW). According to Property 2 of the syllabus, in an isosceles trapezium, angles opposite to equal sides are equal ($\angle$U = $\angle$V). This equality arises because the trapezium can be divided into congruent triangles (e.g., $\triangle UXY \cong \triangle VWZ$), ensuring the base angles ($\angle$U and $\angle$V) are equal. The Reason correctly states the defining property of an isosceles trapezium (equal non-parallel sides), which directly leads to the Assertion.

Key Concept: Trapezium, Isosceles Trapezium, Angle Properties

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
Given an isosceles trapezium $UVWX$ with $UV \parallel XW$ and $UX = VW$.
Step 1: According to the property of a trapezium, since $UV \parallel XW$, the consecutive angles on the same side of the legs are supplementary. Therefore, $\angle U + \angle W = 180^\circ$ and $\angle V + \angle X = 180^\circ$. This makes the Assertion (A) true.
Step 2: For an isosceles trapezium, the non-parallel sides are equal by definition, i.e., $UX = VW$. This makes the Reason (R) true.
Step 3: However, the Reason (R) states a defining property of an isosceles trapezium but does not explain why $\angle U$ and $\angle W$ are supplementary. The supplementary nature of these angles arises from the parallel sides and the properties of a trapezium, not directly from the equality of the non-parallel sides.
Conclusion: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation for Assertion (A).

Key Concept: Trapezium angle sum, Supplementary angles

b) $110^\circ$ and $70^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Let trapezium be ABCD with AB $\parallel$ CD. Given $\angle A = 110^\circ$ and $\angle B = 70^\circ$. Angles on same side of leg are supplementary: $\angle A + \angle D = 180^\circ \Rightarrow \angle D = 70^\circ$; $\angle B + \angle C = 180^\circ \Rightarrow \angle C = 110^\circ$. Remaining angles are $110^\circ$ and $70^\circ$.

Key Concept: Properties of Kite: Diagonals

c) Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
[Solution Description]
According to the property of a kite, one of the diagonals (the one connecting the vertices with equal adjacent sides) bisects the other diagonal at $90^\circ$ and also bisects the angles at those vertices. However, the diagonals of a kite do not necessarily bisect each other completely; only one diagonal is bisected by the other. Therefore, the Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.

Key Concept: Diagonal Properties of a Kite

b) $4\,cm$
[Solution Description]
According to the properties of a kite, the diagonal $BD$ bisects the diagonal $AC$ at right angles. Hence, $AO = OC$. Given $AO = 4\,cm$, it follows that $OC = 4\,cm$.

Key Concept: Kite and Trapezium properties, Diagonals

a) $40$ cm
[Solution Description]
Let the kite be $ABCD$ with diagonals $AC$ and $BD$ intersecting at $O$.
Given, $AC = 16$ cm and $BD = 12$ cm.
Since diagonals of a kite intersect at right angles and one diagonal is bisected, assume $AO = OC = \frac{16}{2} = 8$ cm, and $BO = OD = \frac{12}{2} = 6$ cm.
Now, using Pythagoras' theorem in triangles $AOB$ and $BOC$:
For triangle $AOB$, $AB = \sqrt{AO^2 + BO^2} = \sqrt{8^2 + 6^2} = \sqrt{64 + 36} = \sqrt{100} = 10$ cm.
Similarly, for triangle $BOC$, $BC = \sqrt{BO^2 + CO^2} = \sqrt{6^2 + 8^2} = \sqrt{36 + 64} = \sqrt{100} = 10$ cm.
For a kite, $AB = BC$ and $CD = DA$.
So, the perimeter $P = AB + BC + CD + DA = 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 40$ cm.
However, looking back at the problem, it's given that only one diagonal is bisected (which is $AC$ in our assumption). But in a kite, both diagonals have specific properties: one is bisected ($AC$) and the other is perpendicularly bisected ($BD$).
But according to the problem statement, the perimeter calculation remains consistent as $AB = BC$ and $CD = DA$ due to the kite's properties.

Key Concept: Properties of Isosceles Trapezium - Angles

b) $115^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In an isosceles trapezium, the angles opposite to the equal sides are equal. Let these angles be $65^\circ$ each. The sum of all angles in any quadrilateral is $360^\circ$. Let the remaining two angles be $x$ each since they must also be equal.
Calculation:
$65^\circ + 65^\circ + x + x = 360^\circ \implies 130^\circ + 2x = 360^\circ \implies 2x = 230^\circ \implies x = 115^\circ$
Thus, each of the other two angles measures $115^\circ$.
