Key Concept: Venn Diagram Representation

a) Squares are entirely within the set of rectangles.
[Solution Description]
Since every square is a rectangle but not every rectangle is a square, the set of squares is entirely contained within the set of rectangles. Therefore, option a) is correct.

Key Concept: Properties of a Square

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that the diagonals of a square are equal in length and bisect each other at 90°, which is true because it is one of the properties of a square. The reason states that a square is a quadrilateral with all sides equal and all angles equal to 90°, which is also true and explains why the diagonals have these properties. Therefore, both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion.

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 as a Rectangle

b) Every square is a rectangle, but not every rectangle is a square
[Solution Description]
Every square is a rectangle because it meets all the conditions of a rectangle (all angles $90^\circ$, opposite sides equal), but not every rectangle is a square since rectangles may have unequal adjacent sides.

Key Concept: Square Properties

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that all sides of a square are equal, which is true as per the syllabus. The reason states that a square is a special type of rectangle with all angles equal to $90^\circ$, which is also true. However, the reason does not explain why all sides of a square are equal; it only describes another property of squares.

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: Square Properties, Diagonal

c) 48 cm
[Solution Description]
For a square with side length $s$, the diagonal is given by $d = s\sqrt{2}$. Given $PR = 12\sqrt{2}$ cm:
$s\sqrt{2} = 12\sqrt{2} \implies s = 12 \text{ cm}$
The perimeter of the square is $4s$.
$4 \times 12 = 48 \text{ cm}$

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: 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: 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: Diagonals of Rectangle

c) Are equal in length and bisect each other
[Solution Description]
The diagonals of a rectangle are equal in length and bisect each other at their midpoints. They do not necessarily intersect at right angles unless the rectangle is a square.

Key Concept: Diagonals of Squares and Rectangles

d) Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that if the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other at right angles and are equal in length, then the quadrilateral must be a square. This is not entirely accurate because a rhombus also has diagonals that bisect each other at right angles, but its diagonals are not necessarily equal in length. However, the reason given is that such a quadrilateral satisfies all properties of a square, which is true only for squares. Therefore, while both statements seem plausible, the assertion overgeneralizes by not considering other quadrilaterals (like rhombuses) that partially satisfy these conditions.
Thus:
- Assertion (A) is false because other quadrilaterals (e.g., rhombus) can have diagonals bisecting at right angles without being squares.
- Reason (R) is true because, for a square, the diagonals do indeed satisfy these properties, but this does not mean the quadrilateral must necessarily be a square.

Key Concept: Angles between diagonals in a rectangle

c) $90^\circ$
[Solution Description]
The diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other and are equal in length. When they intersect, they form four angles. Since the rectangle has all angles equal to $90^\circ$, the diagonals intersect at right angles. Thus, each angle at the intersection is $90^\circ$.

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: 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: Angles between diagonals of a rectangle

a) $50^\circ, 50^\circ, 130^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In a rectangle, the diagonals bisect each other and form two pairs of equal angles. Given one angle as $x = 50^\circ$, the other angles will be $50^\circ$, $180^\circ - 50^\circ = 130^\circ$, and $130^\circ$ as they must add up to $360^\circ$ in total.

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: Diagonals of a rectangle

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

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: Construction and reasoning about squares

d) Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
[Solution Description]
The assertion claims that a quadrilateral with equal diagonals bisecting each other at 90° must be a square. The reason states that such conditions ensure all sides are equal and all angles are 90°.
First, consider the properties of a square:
- Diagonals are equal in length.
- Diagonals bisect each other at 90°.
- All sides are equal.
- All angles are 90°.
However, a rhombus also has diagonals that bisect each other at 90° and all sides equal, but its angles are not necessarily 90°. Hence, the assertion is partially correct but not entirely, as the given conditions could also describe a rhombus unless the angles are specified as 90°. The reason correctly explains the properties but fails to distinguish between a square and a rhombus uniquely. Thus, the assertion is false because the conditions alone do not guarantee a square, while the reason is true.

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 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: Special Case: Square

d) Square
[Solution Description]
A quadrilateral with all sides equal and all angles equal to $90^\circ$ satisfies the definition of a square. Hence, it is a square.

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) 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: 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: Parallelogram angles

d) $120^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In a parallelogram, adjacent angles are supplementary, meaning they add up to $180^\circ$.
Given $\angle P = 60^\circ$, then $\angle Q = 180^\circ - 60^\circ = 120^\circ$.

Key Concept: Sum of angles in a quadrilateral

b) $110^\circ$
[Solution Description]
The sum of all angles in a quadrilateral is $360^\circ$. Given three angles: $85^\circ$, $95^\circ$, and $70^\circ$.
Let the fourth angle be $x$.
Therefore, $85^\circ + 95^\circ + 70^\circ + x = 360^\circ$.
Simplify: $250^\circ + x = 360^\circ$.
Subtract $250^\circ$ from both sides to find $x = 110^\circ$.

Key Concept: Sum of angles in a quadrilateral

c) 110°
[Solution Description]
The sum of all angles in any quadrilateral is $360°$. Given three angles as $80°$, $100°$, and $70°$, let the fourth angle be $x$.
Therefore, $80° + 100° + 70° + x = 360°$.
Adding the known angles: $250° + x = 360°$.
Subtracting $250°$ from both sides: $x = 110°$.

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 a quadrilateral, diagonals creating triangles

b) 40°
[Solution Description]
Step 1: In triangle EFG, angles are 50°, 60°, and 70° (sum = 180°).
Step 2: Diagonal EG divides the quadrilateral into two triangles, EFG and EHG.
Step 3: Given one angle of triangle EHG is 40°. Let the other two angles be x and y ⇒ $40° + x + y = 180°$ ⇒ $x + y = 140°$.
Step 4: The quadrilateral's angles are the combination of both triangles' angles: 50°, 60°, 70°, 40°, x, y.
But since the quadrilateral has only four angles, they must be 50°, 60°, 70°, and 40° (the unique angles from both triangles). However, this leads to a sum of $50° + 60° + 70° + 40° = 220° ≠ 360°$, which is incorrect.
Upon reevaluating, the quadrilateral's angles are formed by combining adjacent angles from the two triangles. For example, $∠FEG + ∠HEG$ forms angle E, and similarly for others. Therefore, the quadrilateral's angles are:
$∠E = ∠FEG + ∠HEG$, $∠F = ∠EFG$, $∠G = ∠EGF + ∠EGH$, $∠H = ∠EHG$.
Given $∠F = 60°$ (from triangle EFG), $∠H = 40°$ (given in EHG), $∠FEG = 50°$, $∠EGF = 70°$, and let $∠HEG = z$, $∠EGH = w$.
Since $∠FEG + ∠HEG = ∠E ⇒ 50° + z = ∠E$.
And $∠EGF + ∠EGH = ∠G ⇒ 70° + w = ∠G$.
Also, in triangle EHG: $40° + z + w = 180° ⇒ z + w = 140°$.
Now, sum of quadrilateral angles: $∠E + ∠F + ∠G + ∠H = 360° ⇒ (50° + z) + 60° + (70° + w) + 40° = 360° ⇒ 220° + z + w = 360° ⇒ z + w = 140°$.
This confirms consistency but doesn't provide new information. To find the smallest angle, note that the quadrilateral's angles include $∠F = 60°$, $∠H = 40°$, and $∠E$ and $∠G$ are combinations of angles greater than or equal to their components. Thus, the smallest angle is $∠H = 40°$.

Key Concept: Angles formed by diagonals in a quadrilateral

c) 360°
[Solution Description]
The sum of angles in the first triangle is $40° + 60° + 80° = 180°$.
The sum of angles in the second triangle is $50° + 70° + 60° = 180°$.
Adding these gives the total sum of angles in the quadrilateral: $180° + 180° = 360°$.

Key Concept: Properties of quadrilaterals

c) $\angle S$ is a right angle
[Solution Description]
Since the sum of angles in a quadrilateral is $360^\circ$, we can calculate $\angle S$ as follows:
$\angle P + \angle Q + \angle R + \angle S = 360^\circ$
Substituting the given angles:
$90^\circ + 90^\circ + 90^\circ + \angle S = 360^\circ$
$270^\circ + \angle S = 360^\circ$
$\angle S = 90^\circ$
Thus, $\angle S$ must also be $90^\circ$.

Key Concept: Diagonal properties, angle calculation

c) $95^\circ$
[Solution Description]
First, calculate the sum of given angles: $95^\circ + 85^\circ + 85^\circ = 265^\circ$.
Using angle sum property:
$265^\circ + \angle (\text{fourth angle}) = 360^\circ$
Thus, the fourth angle = $95^\circ$.
The information about diagonals intersecting at right angles is irrelevant for calculating the fourth angle in this case, as we already know three angles and can use the angle sum property directly.

Key Concept: Quadrilateral angles, diagonal properties

c) The fourth angle must be $90^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Let's analyze the given quadrilateral PQRS with three right angles (let's say $\angle P = \angle Q = \angle R = 90^\circ$) and diagonals intersecting at O forming angle POQ = $60^\circ$.
Since sum of angles in any quadrilateral is $360^\circ$, we have:
$\angle P + \angle Q + \angle R + \angle S = 360^\circ$
Substituting known values:
$90^\circ + 90^\circ + 90^\circ + \angle S = 360^\circ$
$270^\circ + \angle S = 360^\circ$
Therefore, $\angle S = 90^\circ$.
The information about diagonal intersection angle doesn't affect the angle sum property. Hence, the fourth angle must also be $90^\circ$.

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: Definition of Parallelogram

c) Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.
[Solution Description]
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel and equal, opposite angles equal, adjacent angles supplementary, and diagonals bisecting each other.

Key Concept: Properties of Parallelograms

c) $115^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal and adjacent angles are supplementary. Given $\angle A = 65^\circ$, $\angle B$ will be $180^\circ - 65^\circ = 115^\circ$. Since $\angle D$ is opposite to $\angle B$, $\angle D = 115^\circ$.

Key Concept: Diagonals of Parallelogram, Bisection Property

c) $10$ cm
[Solution Description] The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. This means $PO = OR$ and $QO = OS$. Here, $PO = 5$ cm and $OR = 3$ cm implies the diagonals are not bisecting each other equally, which contradicts the property. Therefore, the correct values must be equal. Assuming $PO = OR = x$, then $PR = PO + OR = x + x = 2x$. However, the problem states $PO = 5$ cm and $OR = 3$ cm, which is impossible for a parallelogram. But interpreting it as a misprint, if $PO = 5$ cm and $OR = 5$ cm, then $PR = 10$ cm.

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: Assertion-Reason Question

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The Assertion states that the opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal, which is one of the fundamental properties of a parallelogram as given in the syllabus. The Reason states that a parallelogram has its opposite sides parallel, which is the definition of a parallelogram. While both statements are true, the Reason does not explain why the opposite sides are equal; it merely defines what a parallelogram is. Therefore, the correct option is b).

Key Concept: Opposite sides and diagonals of parallelogram

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
Let us verify the assertion using the properties of parallelograms. Consider a parallelogram with adjacent sides $a$ and $b$. Let $d_1$ and $d_2$ be its diagonals. By the property of parallelograms, the diagonals bisect each other. Using the law of cosines in one of the triangles formed by the diagonals, we get:
For triangle formed by half-diagonals and side $a$:
$\left(\frac{d_1}{2}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{d_2}{2}\right)^2 - 2 \cdot \frac{d_1}{2} \cdot \frac{d_2}{2} \cos(\theta) = a^2$
Similarly for side $b$:
$\left(\frac{d_1}{2}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{d_2}{2}\right)^2 - 2 \cdot \frac{d_1}{2} \cdot \frac{d_2}{2} \cos(180^\circ - \theta) = b^2$
Adding these two equations and simplifying:
$2\left(\frac{d_1^2}{4} + \frac{d_2^2}{4}\right) + \frac{d_1 d_2 \cos(\theta)}{2} - \frac{d_1 d_2 \cos(\theta)}{2} = a^2 + b^2$
Which simplifies to:
$\frac{d_1^2 + d_2^2}{2} = a^2 + b^2 \implies d_1^2 + d_2^2 = 2(a^2 + b^2)$
Thus, both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason correctly explains Assertion.

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: 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: Opposite Sides, Diagonals

b) Yes, because the sides satisfy Pythagoras' theorem
[Solution Description]
Step 1: Check if the given sides satisfy the Pythagorean theorem for a right angle. Here, $6^2 + 8^2 = 36 + 64 = 100 = 10^2$.
Step 2: This means the angle between sides $6$ cm and $8$ cm is $90°$.
Step 3: For a parallelogram to be a rectangle, all its angles must be $90°$. Since one angle is already $90°$ and opposite angles in a parallelogram are equal, all angles will be $90°$.
Step 4: Hence, the given conditions make it a rectangle.

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: Diagonals, Angles

b) 35°
[Solution Description]
Step 1: Draw rectangle $PQRS$ with diagonals $PR$ and $QS$ intersecting at $O$.
Step 2: In rectangles, diagonals are equal and bisect each other. Thus, $OP = OR = OQ = OS$.
Step 3: Triangle $POS$ has sides $OP = OS$, making it an isosceles triangle.
Step 4: Given $\angle POS = 70°$, the remaining angles in $\triangle POS$ must sum to $110°$. Since $OP = OS$, $\angle PSO = \angle OPS = 55°$ each.
Step 5: Now, $\angle OSR = 90° - \angle PSO = 35°$ because $PSR$ is a right angle ($90°$) in the rectangle.

Key Concept: Venn Diagram: Relationship between quadrilaterals

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. This is true because a square has all sides equal, which is the defining property of a rhombus. The Reason states that a square has all sides equal and all angles equal to $90^\circ$, satisfying the definition of a rhombus. This is also correct because having all sides equal is sufficient to be a rhombus, regardless of angle measures. Additionally, the Reason correctly explains why the Assertion is true. Therefore, both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

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: Relationship between squares, rectangles, and rhombuses

d) Nested circles: Square inside both Rectangle and Rhombus, which are inside Parallelogram.
[Solution Description]
A square is both a rectangle (all angles are $90^\circ$) and a rhombus (all sides equal). A rectangle has opposite sides equal and all angles $90^\circ$, while a rhombus has all sides equal but angles not necessarily $90^\circ$. Thus, the set of squares lies within both the sets of rectangles and rhombuses, which are subsets of parallelograms.

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 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: Diagonals of Rhombus

b) They bisect each other at right angles.
[Solution Description]
The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles and also bisect the angles of the rhombus. However, they are not necessarily equal in length.

Key Concept: Relationship with Other Quadrilaterals

d) A quadrilateral with all sides equal
[Solution Description]
We need to identify the quadrilateral that is always a rhombus but not necessarily a rectangle. Let's evaluate the options:
1) "Square" is incorrect because a square is both a rhombus and a rectangle.
2) "Parallelogram" is incorrect because not all parallelograms have all sides equal (only rhombuses do).
3) "Rectangle" is incorrect because a rectangle does not necessarily have all sides equal unless it is a square.
4) "A quadrilateral with all sides equal" is correct because it defines a rhombus, which may or may not be a rectangle (unless it is a square).
The correct answer is option d).

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: Diagonal Properties

c) They intersect at $90^\circ$.
[Solution Description]
The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles ($90^\circ$) and also bisect the angles of the rhombus. Thus, the correct statement is that they intersect at $90^\circ$.

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: 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: 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: 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: Quadrilateral Properties

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
When two identical equilateral triangles are joined side-by-side, the resulting figure will have four sides of equal length since all sides of an equilateral triangle are equal. Additionally, opposite sides will be parallel because the angles at each vertex will be 60°, making the sum of adjacent angles 180°, which ensures parallelism. Therefore, the quadrilateral meets all the properties of a rhombus: all sides equal and opposite sides parallel. Hence, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) correctly explains Assertion (A).

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 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: Kite and Trapezium

c) Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
[Solution Description]
The Assertion states that in a kite, the diagonals are perpendicular to each other. This is true because one of the properties of a kite is that its diagonals intersect at right angles. The Reason claims that the diagonals bisect each other at right angles. While it's true that they intersect at right angles, the longer diagonal bisects the shorter one, but not necessarily vice versa. Hence, the Reason is not entirely correct as it implies the diagonals bisect each other equally, which is true only for specific cases like rhombuses. Therefore, Assertion is true, but Reason is false.

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

d) All of the above.
[Solution Description]
According to the properties of a kite, diagonal $BD$ bisects angles $\angle ABC$ and $\angle ADC$, bisects diagonal $AC$ at right angles, and makes $AO = OC$. Thus, the correct statement must reflect these properties.

Key Concept: Kite properties, angle bisector

b) $60^\circ$
[Solution Description]
First, since $BD$ bisects $\angle ABC$ and $\angle ABD = 30^\circ$, then $\angle ABC = 60^\circ$ because the angle bisector splits $\angle ABC$ into two equal angles.
Now, in a kite, one pair of opposite angles are equal. Therefore, $\angle ABC = \angle ADC = 60^\circ$.

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: 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: 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: Trapezium Angle Property

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
According to the property of trapezium, when one pair of opposite sides is parallel (here $AB \parallel CD$), the sum of the angles on the same side of the transversal is $180^\circ$. Therefore, $\angle A + \angle D = 180^\circ$ and $\angle B + \angle C = 180^\circ$. The reason given is also true as it states the general property of angles formed by a transversal intersecting two parallel lines. Further, the reason correctly explains why the assertion is true.

Key Concept: Isosceles Trapezium: Property Verification

c) The non-parallel sides are equal and the base angles are equal.
[Solution Description]
In an isosceles trapezium, the non-parallel sides are equal in length, and the angles adjacent to each base are equal. This means that if $UVWX$ is an isosceles trapezium with $UV \parallel XW$ and $UX = VW$, then $\angle U = \angle V$.

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: 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: Angle Relationships in Trapezium

b) $110^\circ$
[Solution Description]
A property of a trapezium states that the sum of adjacent angles on the same side of the non-parallel sides is $180^\circ$. Thus, $\angle P + \angle S = 180^\circ$. Given $\angle P = 70^\circ$, we can calculate $\angle S$ as follows:
$\angle S = 180^\circ - 70^\circ = 110^\circ$

Key Concept: Properties of Kite - Diagonal Bisection

b) $40^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Given that diagonal BD bisects $\angle ABC$, this means it splits $\angle ABC$ into two equal angles. Since $\angle ABC = 80^\circ$, $\angle ABD$ will be half of $\angle ABC$.
Calculation:
$\angle ABD = \frac{\angle ABC}{2} = \frac{80^\circ}{2} = 40^\circ$
Thus, the measure of $\angle ABD$ is $40^\circ$.

Key Concept: Trapezium properties, Angle relationships

b) $23.75$
[Solution Description]
Recall that in an isosceles trapezium, the angles adjacent to each non-parallel side are equal.
So, $\angle P = \angle Q$ and $\angle S = \angle R$.
Also, since $PQ \parallel SR$, the sum of consecutive angles on the same side of the legs is $180^\circ$.
So, $\angle P + \angle S = 180^\circ$.
Given $\angle P = (3x + 10)^\circ$ and $\angle S = (5x - 20)^\circ$.
Therefore, $(3x + 10) + (5x - 20) = 180$.
Simplifying, $8x - 10 = 180$.
Then, $8x = 190$.
So, $x = \frac{190}{8} = 23.75$.
