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 Rectangles

d) Diagonals intersect at $90^\circ$.
[Solution Description]
A rectangle has all angles equal to $90^\circ$, opposite sides equal and parallel, and diagonals that are equal and bisect each other. However, the diagonals do not necessarily bisect each other at $90^\circ$ in a rectangle (this is a property of a square).

Key Concept: Rectangles, Squares, Properties

c) Both I and II
[Solution Description]
Statement I: A quadrilateral with all angles $90^\circ$ must have opposite sides equal and parallel, making it a rectangle. This statement is correct because these are the defining properties of a rectangle.
Statement II: A quadrilateral with diagonals that are equal and bisect each other at $90^\circ$ could be either a square or a rhombus (if sides are not equal). However, since the diagonals are equal, it must be a square (as rhombuses do not necessarily have equal diagonals unless they are squares). Therefore, this statement is also correct.
Hence, both statements I and II are correct.

Key Concept: Properties of a Rectangle

b) The diagonals are equal and bisect each other
[Solution Description]
The diagonals of a rectangle are equal and bisect each other, as stated in the properties of a rectangle.

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: Construction of a Square

b) 50 cm$^2$
[Solution Description]
Given the diagonal $d = 10$ cm. Using the relationship $d = s\sqrt{2}$, we find the side length $s$ as $s = \frac{d}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{10}{\sqrt{2}} = 5\sqrt{2}$ cm. The area of the square is $s^2 = (5\sqrt{2})^2 = 25 \times 2 = 50$ cm$^2$.

Key Concept: Properties of Squares

d) Diagonals bisect each other at $90^\circ$
[Solution Description]
A square has all sides equal and diagonals bisecting at $90^\circ$, while a rectangle only requires opposite sides to be equal and diagonals to be equal and bisect each other. Thus, the property that is unique to squares is diagonals bisecting at $90^\circ$.

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: 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 Square

c) 90°
[Solution Description]
In a square, the diagonals bisect each other at right angles. Therefore, the angle between the diagonals is 90°.

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: Diagonals of a Rectangle

d) The point $O$ divides both diagonals into two equal parts.
[Solution Description]
The diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other, so the point of intersection $O$ divides both diagonals into two equal parts. Each diagonal will be split into two segments of equal length.

Key Concept: Angles between diagonals of a rectangle

d) Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
[Solution Description]
In a rectangle, diagonals are equal in length and bisect each other, forming two pairs of isosceles triangles. For any angle $x$ between the diagonals, the base angles of these isosceles triangles can be calculated as $a = 90^\circ - \frac{x}{2}$ and $b = \frac{x}{2}$. The sum of the angles around the point of intersection must satisfy $a + b = 90^\circ$, leading to all four angles being $90^\circ$. However, while the diagonals of a rectangle are equal and bisect each other (Reason), this property alone does not necessarily imply that they intersect at $90^\circ$ (Assertion is false). Only in special cases like squares or rhombuses do diagonals intersect at $90^\circ$.

Key Concept: Diagonals, Angles in Quadrilaterals

c) $90^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Since $AO = BO = CO = DO$, the triangles $AOB$, $BOC$, $COD$, and $DOA$ are all isosceles. Given that the angle between the diagonals ($\angle AOB$) is $60^\circ$, we can find the base angles of $\triangle AOB$ as follows:
Let the base angles be $a$.
$2a + 60 = 180 \implies 2a = 120 \implies a = 60.$
So, $\angle OAB = \angle OBA = 60^\circ$.
Similarly, in $\triangle BOC$, $\angle BOC = 120^\circ$ (since angles around point $O$ add to $360^\circ$). The base angles ($b$) of $\triangle BOC$ are:
$2b + 120 = 180 \implies 2b = 60 \implies b = 30.$
Thus, $\angle ABC = \angle ABO + \angle OBC = 60^\circ + 30^\circ = 90^\circ$.

Key Concept: Assertion-Reason

d) Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
[Solution Description]
In a rectangle, the diagonals are equal and bisect each other, but they do not necessarily intersect at $90^\circ$ unless it is a square. Thus, Assertion (A) is false. However, Reason (R) is true because diagonals of a rectangle are equal and bisect each other.

Key Concept: Quadrilaterals, Diagonals of a Rectangle and Square

c) Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that if diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other at $90^\circ$, the quadrilateral must be a rhombus or square. This is true because a rhombus and square have diagonals intersecting at right angles, while rectangles without equal adjacent sides (non-squares) do not necessarily meet this condition. However, the reason states that a quadrilateral with diagonals bisecting each other at $90^\circ$ has all sides equal, which is only true for rhombuses and squares but not for general quadrilaterals. Therefore, the assertion is true, but the reason is false because it incorrectly generalizes the property to all quadrilaterals instead of specific ones like rhombuses and squares.

Key Concept: Construction of Square

c) $3\sqrt{2}$ cm
[Solution Description]
For a square, the relationship between the diagonal ($d$) and the side length ($s$) is given by $d = s\sqrt{2}$. Rearranging this, $s = \frac{d}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{6}{\sqrt{2}} = 3\sqrt{2}$ cm.

Key Concept: Diagonals of Quadrilaterals

d) Square
[Solution Description]
If the diagonals of a quadrilateral are equal in length and bisect each other at $90^\circ$, then the quadrilateral is a square. This is because such properties ensure all angles are $90^\circ$ and all sides are equal.

Key Concept: Properties of Rectangles, Diagonals

b) 10 cm
[Solution Description]
In a rectangle, the diagonals are equal in length and bisect each other. Given AO = 5 cm, which is half of diagonal AC. Since diagonals are equal, BD = AC. Therefore, BD = 2 * AO = 10 cm.

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 Rectangle Diagonals

b) At the midpoint of both strips
[Solution Description]
The diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other at their midpoints. Therefore, the carpenter should join the strips at their midpoints.

Key Concept: Rectangle and Square Properties, Diagonal Congruence

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
For a quadrilateral to be a square, its diagonals must satisfy three conditions: 1) They must be of equal length, 2) They must bisect each other, and 3) They must intersect at right angles ($90^\circ$). The Assertion states that joining equal-length strips at their midpoints with a $90^\circ$ angle forms a square, which is correct because this setup ensures all three conditions are met. The Reason correctly identifies these properties as sufficient for a quadrilateral to be a square. Therefore, both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason explains Assertion.

Key Concept: Properties of Rectangle

c) Opposite sides must be equal
[Solution Description]
In a quadrilateral with all angles as 90\degree, drawing a diagonal divides it into two congruent right-angled triangles. Using properties of congruent triangles, we deduce that opposite sides must be equal in length. Thus, such a quadrilateral must have opposite sides equal.

Key Concept: Angles Between Diagonals

c) $90^\circ$
[Solution Description]
For a square, the diagonals not only bisect each other but also intersect at right angles ($90^\circ$). So, the carpenter must ensure the angle between the diagonals is $90^\circ$.

Key Concept: Angle Sum Property of Quadrilateral

c) $115^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Sum of interior angles of a quadrilateral = $360^\circ$.
Let the fourth angle be $x$.
$$ 80^\circ + 95^\circ + 70^\circ + x = 360^\circ$$
$$ 245^\circ + x = 360^\circ$$
$$ x = 115^\circ$$

Key Concept: Quadrilateral Construction

c) Square
[Solution Description]
When the diagonals of a quadrilateral are equal in length and bisect each other at $90^\circ$, the quadrilateral must be a square. This is because such properties are specific to squares and not to other quadrilaterals like rectangles or rhombuses unless all sides are also equal.

Key Concept: Square Properties

c) They bisect each other at $90^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Both squares and rectangles have diagonals that are equal in length and bisect each other. However, the diagonals of a square additionally bisect each other at right angles ($90^\circ$), which is not necessarily true for all rectangles.

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 as per Property 4 of squares. The reason states that a square is a special type of rectangle with all sides equal, which is also true (Property 1 of squares). However, the reason does not explain why the diagonals bisect at $90^\circ$; it only describes another property of squares. Therefore, both statements are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

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: Angles in a Rectangle

c) $90^\circ$
[Solution Description]
By definition, all angles in a rectangle are right angles. A right angle measures $90^\circ$. Therefore, each angle in a rectangle is $90^\circ$.

Key Concept: Properties of Rectangles and Squares

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that every square is a rectangle. This is true because a square satisfies all the properties of a rectangle: all angles are $90^\circ$, opposite sides are equal and parallel, and diagonals bisect each other.
The reason given is that in a square, all angles are $90^\circ$ and opposite sides are equal and parallel. This is also true as it aligns with the properties of both squares and rectangles. However, while the reason correctly describes properties of a square, it does not explicitly link these properties to why a square is a rectangle. The key observation from the syllabus mentions this relationship directly ("Every square is a rectangle"), but the reason does not provide an explanation for the assertion; it merely lists properties. Hence, both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is NOT the correct explanation of the assertion.

Key Concept: Construction of Parallelograms and Relation to Rectangles

a) 6.24 cm
[Solution Description]
To find the shorter diagonal of the parallelogram, we use the Law of Cosines.
Step 1: Let the sides be $a = 5$ cm and $b = 7$ cm, with the included angle $\theta = 60^\circ$.
Step 2: The shorter diagonal $d_1$ can be calculated using:
$d_1 = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2 - 2ab \cos(\theta)}$
Step 3: Substituting the values:
$d_1 = \sqrt{5^2 + 7^2 - 2 \times 5 \times 7 \cos(60^\circ)} = \sqrt{25 + 49 - 70 \times 0.5} = \sqrt{74 - 35} = \sqrt{39} \approx 6.24 \text{ cm}$
Therefore, the length of the shorter diagonal is approximately $6.24$ cm.

Key Concept: Quadrilateral Angles

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
A quadrilateral can indeed be divided into two triangles by drawing one diagonal. The sum of angles in each triangle is $180^\circ$, so the total sum of angles for both triangles is $360^\circ$. Since the angles of the triangles collectively form the angles of the quadrilateral, the sum of the quadrilateral's angles must also be $360^\circ$. Thus, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and R correctly explains why A is true.

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

c) 360$^\circ$
[Solution Description]
The sum of all interior angles of any quadrilateral is always $360^\circ$, as per the angle sum property of quadrilaterals.

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: Sum of angles in a quadrilateral, properties of diagonals

c) 110°
[Solution Description]
Step 1: The sum of all angles in a quadrilateral is 360°.
Step 2: Given angles A, B, and C are 80°, 100°, and 70° respectively.
Step 3: Calculate the sum of known angles: $80° + 100° + 70° = 250°$.
Step 4: Subtract the sum from 360° to find angle D: $360° - 250° = 110°$.

Key Concept: Sum of angles in quadrilateral, properties of triangles

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
To verify the assertion and reason:
1. Assertion (A): Any quadrilateral can indeed be divided into two triangles by drawing one diagonal. This is true as a quadrilateral has four sides and connecting two non-adjacent vertices with a diagonal splits it into two distinct triangles.
2. Reason (R): The sum of the interior angles of any quadrilateral is $360^\circ$. This is true because when you divide the quadrilateral into two triangles, the sum of angles in each triangle is $180^\circ$. Adding them gives $180^\circ + 180^\circ = 360^\circ$. Thus, the reason correctly explains why the sum of angles in a quadrilateral is $360^\circ$.
Therefore, both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

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: Quadrilateral Angle Sum Property

d) Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
[Solution Description]
We know from the properties of quadrilaterals that the sum of all four interior angles is always $360^\circ$.
If three angles are each $90^\circ$, their sum is $3 \times 90^\circ = 270^\circ$. If the fourth angle were not $90^\circ$, say $x$, then the total sum would be $270^\circ + x$. For this to equal $360^\circ$, $x$ must satisfy:
$270^\circ + x = 360^\circ$
$x = 360^\circ - 270^\circ$
$x = 90^\circ$
This means the fourth angle must also be $90^\circ$ to satisfy the angle sum property. Hence, it is impossible for a quadrilateral to have three right angles and a non-right fourth angle.
The assertion claims it is possible, which is false, but the reason correctly states the angle sum property of quadrilaterals.

Key Concept: Quadrilateral construction, angle sum

c) $100^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Using the angle sum property of quadrilaterals:
$\angle A + \angle B + \angle C + \angle D = 360^\circ$
Substituting known values:
$80^\circ + 90^\circ + 90^\circ + \angle D = 360^\circ$
$260^\circ + \angle D = 360^\circ$
Therefore, $\angle D = 100^\circ$
The side length AB = 5 cm is given but doesn't affect the angle calculation as angle sum is independent of side lengths in this case.

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: Construction of quadrilaterals

c) The fourth angle must be a right angle
[Solution Description]
The sum of angles in any quadrilateral is $360^\circ$. If a quadrilateral has three right angles ($90^\circ$ each), their sum would be $270^\circ$. Therefore, the fourth angle must be:
$360^\circ - 270^\circ = 90^\circ$
Hence, if a quadrilateral has three right angles, the fourth angle must also be a right angle.

Key Concept: Adjacent Angles in Parallelogram

b) $130^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Adjacent angles in a parallelogram are supplementary, meaning they add up to $180^\circ$. If one angle is $50^\circ$, the adjacent angle will be $180^\circ - 50^\circ = 130^\circ$.

Key Concept: Properties of Parallelograms and Rhombus

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 rhombus bisect each other at $90^\circ$, which is a known property of a rhombus. The reason states that a rhombus is a special type of parallelogram with all sides equal, which is also true. However, the reason does not directly explain why the diagonals bisect at $90^\circ$; it merely defines a rhombus. Therefore, both statements are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

Key Concept: Special Cases: Rhombus, Rectangle, Square

c) All sides are equal
[Solution Description] A rhombus has all sides equal, but its angles are not necessarily $90^\circ$. A rectangle has all angles equal to $90^\circ$, but its sides are not necessarily equal. Therefore, the property that applies to all rhombuses but not necessarily to all rectangles is "All sides are equal".

Key Concept: Angle Sum in Quadrilaterals

c) $115^\circ$
[Solution Description]
The sum of angles in a quadrilateral is $360^\circ$. Given $\angle P + \angle Q + \angle R + \angle S = 360^\circ$. Substituting the values:
$80^\circ + 95^\circ + 70^\circ + \angle S = 360^\circ$
$245^\circ + \angle S = 360^\circ$
$\angle S = 360^\circ - 245^\circ = 115^\circ$.

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: Congruent Triangles in Parallelogram

c) The opposite sides are equal and parallel.
[Solution Description]
The congruence of triangles $WXY$ and $YZW$ implies certain properties of the parallelogram $WXYZ$.
For triangles $WXY$ and $YZW$ to be congruent, their corresponding sides and angles must be equal. Specifically:
1. Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal and parallel, so $WX = YZ$ and $XY = WZ$.
2. Diagonally opposite angles in a parallelogram are equal, so $\angle WXY = \angle YZW$ and $\angle XYW = \angle ZWY$.
This means the diagonal $WY$ divides the parallelogram into two congruent triangles. Additionally, the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other but do not necessarily have to be equal in length.
Therefore, the correct property deduced from the given information is that the opposite sides of $WXYZ$ are equal and parallel.

Key Concept: Opposite sides and angles of a parallelogram

b) $110^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal. Here, $\angle P$ and $\angle R$ are opposite angles, while $\angle Q$ and $\angle S$ are opposite angles. Therefore, $\angle S = \angle Q$. However, adjacent angles in a parallelogram add up to $180^\circ$, so $\angle Q = 180^\circ - \angle P = 180^\circ - 70^\circ = 110^\circ$. Thus, $\angle S = 110^\circ$.

Key Concept: Properties of Rectangles

d) The diagonals bisect each other at $90^\circ$
[Solution Description]
A rectangle has all angles equal to $90^\circ$, opposite sides equal and parallel, and diagonals that bisect each other. However, its diagonals do not necessarily bisect at $90^\circ$ unless it is a square. Thus, the incorrect property among the options is that the diagonals bisect at $90^\circ$.

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: 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: Classification of Quadrilaterals

c) Every rectangle is a parallelogram, but not vice versa.
[Solution Description]
Every rectangle is a parallelogram since it has opposite sides parallel and equal. However, not every parallelogram is a rectangle because parallelograms do not necessarily have all angles equal to $90^{\circ}$.

Key Concept: Properties of Quadrilaterals

c) Rhombus
[Solution Description]
A rhombus has diagonals that are perpendicular bisectors of each other. This is one of its defining properties. Hence, the correct answer is Rhombus.

Key Concept: Special Cases of Parallelograms

c) All its angles are $90^\circ$
[Solution Description]
A rectangle is a special parallelogram where all angles are $90^\circ$. While it has all properties of a parallelogram, the defining feature is its right angles. Thus, the correct answer is "All its angles are $90^\circ$."

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, Properties of Quadrilaterals

d) Parallelogram
[Solution Description]
The quadrilateral has both pairs of opposite sides equal and parallel, which means it is a parallelogram. Since the diagonals are not perpendicular and do not bisect the angles, it cannot be a rhombus or square. It also does not have all angles equal to $90^\circ$, so it is not a rectangle. Therefore, it is a general parallelogram.

Key Concept: Properties of a Rhombus

a) All sides are equal
[Solution Description]
A rhombus has all sides equal, opposite sides parallel, adjacent angles summing to $180^\circ$, and diagonals that bisect each other. From Property 1, we know all sides are equal.

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: Angle Properties of Rhombus

c) $120^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Adjacent angles in a rhombus sum to $180^\circ$ (Property 3). Given $\angle A = 60^\circ$, then $\angle B = 180^\circ - 60^\circ = 120^\circ$.

Key Concept: Types of Quadrilaterals

c) Rhombus
[Solution Description]
A rhombus has all sides equal, but its angles are not necessarily equal (unless it is a square). Therefore, a rhombus fits this description.

Key Concept: Properties of a Rhombus

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
First, let's examine Assertion (A): "The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles." This is true because one of the properties of a rhombus states that its diagonals bisect each other at $90^\circ$.
Next, let's check Reason (R): "In a rhombus, the adjacent angles add up to $180^\circ$ and the opposite angles are equal." This is also true as it is another property of a rhombus mentioned in the syllabus.
However, while both Assertion and Reason are true, they describe different properties of a rhombus. The fact that adjacent angles sum to $180^\circ$ and opposite angles are equal does not directly explain why the diagonals bisect at right angles. These are separate properties.
Therefore, both statements are correct, but the reason does not explain the assertion.

Key Concept: Rhombus Properties

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that all sides of a rhombus are equal, which is true because one of the defining properties of a rhombus is that all its sides have the same length. The reason correctly explains this property by stating that a quadrilateral with all sides equal is defined as a rhombus. Therefore, both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

Key Concept: Properties of Rhombus, Angle Relationships

c) $180^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Opposite angles in a rhombus are equal, so $\angle PQR = \angle PSR = 110^\circ$. Adjacent angles in a rhombus are supplementary, so $\angle QPS = 180^\circ - \angle PQR = 70^\circ$. Therefore, the sum is:
$\angle QPS + \angle RSP = 70^\circ + 110^\circ = 180^\circ$

Key Concept: Properties of Rhombus, Angles in Rhombus

c) $60^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Since diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles, we know $\angle AOD = 90^\circ$. Given $\angle OAD = 30^\circ$, we can find $\angle ADO$ using the sum of angles in triangle $AOD$:
$\angle OAD + \angle ADO + \angle AOD = 180^\circ \implies 30^\circ + \angle ADO + 90^\circ = 180^\circ \implies \angle ADO = 60^\circ$
The diagonal also bisects the angle, so $\angle ADC = 2 \times \angle ADO = 120^\circ$. Then, since adjacent angles in a rhombus are supplementary:
$\angle ABC = 180^\circ - \angle ADC = 180^\circ - 120^\circ = 60^\circ$

Key Concept: Side length, Diagonal relationship

c) 6 cm
[Solution Description]
In a rhombus, the diagonals bisect each other at right angles and divide the rhombus into four right-angled triangles. Let's denote half of diagonal 1 as $d_1/2 = 4$ cm and half of diagonal 2 as $d_2/2 = x$ cm. Using Pythagoras theorem: $(d_1/2)^2 + (d_2/2)^2 = \text{side}^2$ → $4^2 + x^2 = 5^2$ → $16 + x^2 = 25$ → $x^2 = 9$ → $x = 3$ cm. Thus the full diagonal length is $6$ cm.

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: Properties of Rhombus

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 rhombus bisect each other at $90^\circ$, which is Property 4 from the syllabus, so it is true. The reason states that a rhombus is a quadrilateral with all sides equal in length, which is the definition of a rhombus (Property 1), so it is also true. However, the property of diagonals bisecting at $90^\circ$ does not depend on all sides being equal but is a fundamental geometric property, so the Reason does not explain the Assertion. Thus, both 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: Parallelograms

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states the definition of a parallelogram, which is correct. The reason states that rectangles and squares are special cases of parallelograms, which is also true. Furthermore, the reason correctly explains why the assertion holds because it provides additional classification information about parallelograms. Therefore, both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

Key Concept: Folding Paper Activity

c) Kite

[Solution Description]

Folding the paper into quarters and making a triangular crease results in a kite shape due to the symmetry of the folds and the crease.

Key Concept: Folding Paper to Form Quadrilaterals

d) Kite
[Solution Description]
Folding the sheet into half creates a straight line (crease). Folding it again into a quarter creates another perpendicular straight line. Making a triangular crease at the middle corner introduces diagonal folds. When these creases are opened, they form intersecting lines within the paper. Specifically:
- Two main creases from folding into quarters (vertical and horizontal).
- Diagonal creases from the triangular fold.
The resulting pattern forms a kite shape due to the intersection of the diagonal folds with the main creases, creating two pairs of adjacent sides of unequal length meeting at the central point.

Key Concept: Sum of Angles in a Quadrilateral

b) $100^{\circ}$
[Solution Description]
The sum of all interior angles of a quadrilateral is $360^{\circ}$. Given three angles:
$70^{\circ} + 110^{\circ} + 80^{\circ} = 260^{\circ}$
The fourth angle is calculated as:
$360^{\circ} - 260^{\circ} = 100^{\circ}$

Key Concept: Geoboard Activity: Properties of Quadrilaterals

c) Square
[Solution Description]
When two diagonals are equal in length and perpendicular to each other, joining their endpoints forms a square. This is because all sides become equal due to the properties of symmetry and the right angles between the sides.

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: Quadrilateral Properties, Angle Sum Property

c) $95^\circ$
[Solution Description]
The sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is always $360^\circ$. Given three angles as $90^\circ$, $90^\circ$, and $85^\circ$, we can find the fourth angle by subtracting the sum of these angles from $360^\circ$.
Calculation: $360^\circ - (90^\circ + 90^\circ + 85^\circ) = 95^\circ$.

Key Concept: Properties of Diagonals in Quadrilaterals

c) Square
[Solution Description]
If the diagonals of a quadrilateral are equal in length, bisect each other, and intersect at $90^\circ$, the quadrilateral must be a square. This is because these conditions ensure all sides are equal and all angles are $90^\circ$.

Key Concept: Trapezium Angles

d) $110^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In an isosceles trapezium, the base angles on the same side are supplementary ($\angle U + \angle W = 180^\circ$). Given $\angle U = 70^\circ$, we can find $\angle W$ as follows:
$\angle W = 180^\circ - \angle U = 180^\circ - 70^\circ = 110^\circ$

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: 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: Kite Properties

b) Kite
[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 has adjacent sides equal (8 cm each). This satisfies the definition of a kite, where two pairs of adjacent sides are equal. Thus, the quadrilateral formed is a kite.

Key Concept: Trapezium angles, Isosceles trapezium properties

c) 80$^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In an isosceles trapezium, the angles adjacent to each base are equal. Thus, $\angle P = \angle Q = 100^\circ$. Since the sum of angles on the same side of a transversal in a trapezium is $180^\circ$, we have $\angle P + \angle S = 180^\circ$. Substituting $\angle P = 100^\circ$, we get $\angle S = 80^\circ$.

Key Concept: Properties of a Kite

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
A kite is defined as a quadrilateral with two distinct pairs of adjacent sides equal. One of its properties is that the diagonals intersect at right angles (perpendicular). Therefore, both the Assertion and Reason are true, and the Reason correctly explains why the Assertion is true.

Key Concept: Trapezium Angles

c) $110^\circ$
[Solution Description]
For a trapezium with parallel sides, the sum of adjacent angles is $180^\circ$. Given $\angle P = 70^\circ$, then $\angle S = 180^\circ - 70^\circ = 110^\circ$.

Key Concept: Kite properties, Diagonal bisection

b) 60 cm$^2$
[Solution Description]
The diagonal $BD$ bisects $AC$ perpendicularly, so $AO = OC = 6$ cm. Since $\Delta AOB \cong \Delta COB$, we can calculate the area of one triangle and multiply by 2.
Area of $\Delta AOB = \frac{1}{2} \times AO \times BO$. To find $BO$, use the property that $BD = 10$ cm and $BD$ is split into $BO$ and $OD$. However, without additional information, we recognize that the area of the kite is $\frac{1}{2} \times d_1 \times d_2 = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 12 = 60$ cm$^2$.

Key Concept: Classification of Quadrilaterals

a) Every rhombus is a kite, but not every kite is a rhombus.
[Solution Description]
A rhombus is a special case of a kite where all four sides are equal. However, not every kite is a rhombus because a kite only requires two distinct pairs of adjacent sides to be equal.

Key Concept: Kite construction, side lengths

c) $30$ cm
[Solution Description]
A kite must satisfy the triangle inequality for each pair of triangles formed by the diagonals. For sides 6 cm and 9 cm, let the shorter sides be repeated.
Then, the sides are 6, 6, 9, 9, giving a perimeter of $6 + 6 + 9 + 9 = 30$ cm. This satisfies all geometric constraints.

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: Kite Properties, Congruent Triangles

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
Given that $\Delta AOB \cong \Delta COB$ in the kite ABCD, this implies that the corresponding angles $\angle ABO = \angle CBO$ and $\angle ADO = \angle CDO$ due to congruency. Therefore, the diagonal BD indeed bisects $\angle ABC$ and $\angle ADC$. The Reason correctly explains why the Assertion is true because congruent triangles ensure equal corresponding angles, which leads to the bisection of the angles by the diagonal BD.

Key Concept: Sum of angles in a quadrilateral

c) $20^\circ$
[Solution Description]
The sum of the interior angles of any quadrilateral is $360^\circ$. Let the fourth angle be $x$. Then:
$105^\circ + 135^\circ + 100^\circ + x = 360^\circ$
Simplifying:
$105 + 135 = 240^\circ$
$240 + 100 = 340^\circ$
$x = 360^\circ - 340^\circ = 20^\circ$
So, the fourth angle is $20^\circ$.

Key Concept: Kite diagonals, Congruency

b) 6 cm
[Solution Description]
Diagonals of a kite intersect at right angles, bisecting one diagonal. Here, PR is bisected by QS, so PO = OR = 4 cm. Using Pythagoras' theorem in $\triangle$PQO: $5^2 = 4^2 + QO^2 \Rightarrow QO = 3$ cm. Thus, full diagonal QS = 2 $\times$ QO = 6 cm.

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: Basic property of trapezium angles

c) $120^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Since $PQ || SR$, by the property of trapezium, the sum of angles on the same side of the non-parallel side is $180^\circ$. Therefore, $\angle P + \angle S = 180^\circ$. Given $\angle P = 60^\circ$, we can find $\angle S$ as follows:
$\angle S = 180^\circ - 60^\circ = 120^\circ$

Key Concept: Kite Diagonal Properties, Trapezium Angle Relationships

c) Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
[Solution Description]
For assertion (A), in a kite, one diagonal (main diagonal) is known to be perpendicular to the other and bisects it. This property makes $\angle AOB = 90^\circ$ true because diagonals of a kite are perpendicular by definition. Therefore, Assertion (A) is true.
For reason (R), the diagonals of a trapezium do not necessarily bisect each other unless it is an isosceles trapezium. Even in an isosceles trapezium, diagonals are equal but they only bisect each other if additional conditions are met. Hence, Reason (R) is false.
Thus, Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.

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: Diagonals of an Isosceles Trapezium

d) Diagonals are equal in length
[Solution Description]
One of the key properties of an isosceles trapezium is that its diagonals are equal in length. Therefore, $UW = VX$.

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 $115^\circ$.
