Key Concept: Rectangle Diagonals, Square Diagonals

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

Key Concept: Rectangle-to-Square Diagonal Comparison

a) $\frac{4\sqrt{17}}{17}$
[Solution Description]
1. Find the perimeter of the rectangle: $P_{rect} = 2(10 + 6) = 32$ cm.
2. Since the square has the same perimeter, $P_{square} = 32$ cm, giving the side length as $s = \frac{32}{4} = 8$ cm.
3. Diagonal of the square: $d_{square} = s\sqrt{2} = 8\sqrt{2}$ cm.
4. Diagonal of the rectangle: $d_{rect} = \sqrt{10^2 + 6^2} = \sqrt{100 + 36} = \sqrt{136} \approx 11.66$ cm.
5. The ratio is $\frac{d_{square}}{d_{rect}} = \frac{8\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{136}} = \frac{8\sqrt{2}}{2\sqrt{34}} = \frac{4\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{34}} = \frac{4\sqrt{68}}{34} \approx \frac{4 \times 8.246}{34} \approx 0.97$.
However, simplifying further algebraically:
$\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{34}} \times \frac{\sqrt{34}}{\sqrt{34}} = \frac{4\sqrt{68}}{34} = \frac{4 \times 2\sqrt{17}}{34} = \frac{8\sqrt{17}}{34} = \frac{4\sqrt{17}}{17}$.

Key Concept: Diagonal properties

c) Square
[Solution Description]
A quadrilateral whose diagonals are equal and bisect each other at 90° is a square. Rectangles also have equal diagonals but do not necessarily bisect at 90° unless they are squares.

Key Concept: Rectangle properties

b) 10 cm
[Solution Description]
According to the properties of a rectangle, the diagonals are equal in length. Therefore, if diagonal $AC$ is 10 cm, diagonal $BD$ must also be 10 cm.

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

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

Key Concept: 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 in rectangle $ABCD$, diagonals $AC$ and $BD$ are equal in length. This is true because one of the properties of rectangles is that their diagonals are equal in length.
The reason states that the diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other. This is also true as it is another property of rectangles.
However, the reason does not explain why the diagonals are equal in length—it only states a different property of the diagonals. Thus, both statements are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion.

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: Diagonals of Rectangle and 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 rectangle always intersect at their midpoints. This is true because, in any rectangle, the diagonals are equal in length and they bisect each other at their midpoints. The reason states that a rectangle is a type of parallelogram where the diagonals bisect each other. This is also true as all rectangles are parallelograms with congruent diagonals that bisect each other. Moreover, the reason correctly explains why the assertion is true since it provides the underlying property (parallelogram diagonals bisecting each other) that leads to the assertion being valid.
Thus, both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

Key Concept: Diagonals of Rectangle and Square, Multi-step Solution

c) 26
[Solution Description]
Step 1: In a rectangle, diagonals are equal and bisect each other. So, AO = OC and BO = OD. Since AO = BO, we set $3x + 1 = 5x - 7$.
Step 2: Solve for x: subtract 3x from both sides to get $1 = 2x - 7$. Add 7 to both sides: $8 = 2x$. Divide by 2: $x = 4$.
Step 3: Substitute x back into AO: $AO = 3(4) + 1 = 13$.
Step 4: Diagonal AC is twice AO (since AO = OC): $AC = 2 \times 13 = 26$.

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: 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: 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: Diagonals of a square

c) $10\ \text{cm}$
[Solution Description]
For a square with diagonal $d$, the side length $s$ is related by $d = s\sqrt{2}$. Given $d = 10\sqrt{2}\ \text{cm}$, solving for $s$ gives:
$s = \frac{d}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{10\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}} = 10\ \text{cm}$

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: 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: Quadrilateral diagonals

c) Square
[Solution Description]
A quadrilateral with equal diagonals that bisect each other at $90^\circ$ is a square because all angles will be $90^\circ$ and all sides will be equal.

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: Quadrilateral Properties, Congruence

a) Yes, because all sides and angles are equal.
[Solution Description]
A quadrilateral with four equal sides is a rhombus. If one angle is $90°$, then by properties of a rhombus, all angles must be $90°$ (since opposite angles are equal and consecutive angles are supplementary). Hence, it is a square.

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: 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 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: Diagonals of Rectangle

d) 8 cm, joined at their midpoints
[Solution Description]
For a quadrilateral to be a rectangle, its diagonals must be equal in length and bisect each other. Given one diagonal is 8 cm, the other must also be 8 cm. The strips should be joined at their midpoints to ensure the diagonals bisect each other.

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: Rectangle Construction

d) Connect sticks at midpoints and join ends with thread
[Solution Description]
To construct a right angle using two equal-length sticks and thread:
1) Join the sticks at their midpoints (5 cm from either end) forming an X-shape.
2) Use the thread to connect all four ends of the sticks sequentially - this forms a quadrilateral.
3) Since diagonals are equal and bisect each other, the quadrilateral is a rectangle (Property 4).
4) All angles in a rectangle are $90°$, so the angle formed by adjacent sides is a right angle.
Key points:
- Equal-length sticks act as diagonals.
- Bisecting them ensures rectangle formation.
- Rectangle guarantees right angles at vertices.

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: Properties of Rectangle

c) The quadrilateral must be a rectangle but not necessarily a square
[Solution Description]
When diagonals of a quadrilateral are equal and bisect each other, it must be a rectangle. However, for rectangles, diagonals should intersect at $90°$ if it's a square, otherwise they form angles not equal to $90°$ unless specified. Here the angle is $60°$, which means it's a rectangle but not necessarily a square.
Step-by-step reasoning:
1) Diagonals being equal and bisecting each other confirms it's a rectangle (Property 4 of rectangles).
2) The angle between diagonals being $60°$ shows it's not a square (where diagonals intersect at $90°$).
3) Thus, the quadrilateral is a rectangle with unequal adjacent sides.

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: 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: 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: Venn Diagram Representation

c) Square $\subset$ Rectangle
[Solution Description]
The set of all squares is a subset of the set of all rectangles because every square is a rectangle (all angles $90^\circ$ and opposite sides equal), but not all rectangles are squares. Thus, the correct representation is Square $\subset$ Rectangle.

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: Diagonals of a quadrilateral

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

Key Concept: 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

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that the sum of angles in any quadrilateral is 360°, which is true based on the syllabus. The reason explains that when a quadrilateral is split into two triangles via a diagonal, the sum of angles in each triangle is 180°, leading to a total of 360° for the quadrilateral. Therefore, both the assertion and reason are correct, and the reason justifies 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: Impossible quadrilateral configuration

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

Key Concept: Sum of angles in a quadrilateral

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

Key Concept: 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: 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: Constructing quadrilaterals

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

Key Concept: 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: Properties of a Parallelogram

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
In a parallelogram, by definition, both pairs of opposite sides are parallel. The assertion states that the opposite sides are equal and parallel, which is true as per the properties of a parallelogram. The reason correctly defines a parallelogram as a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel. Therefore, both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

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: 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: 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: 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: Properties of Parallelogram

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

Key Concept: Properties of Parallelogram, Diagonal Bisection

a) $\frac{20}{3}$
[Solution Description]
The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. Therefore, in parallelogram $PQRS$, $PO = OR$.
Given:
$PO = 4x - 5$
$OR = x + 15$
Since $PO = OR$, we set them equal:
$4x - 5 = x + 15$
Subtract $x$ from both sides:
$3x - 5 = 15$
Add $5$ to both sides:
$3x = 20$
Divide by $3$ on both sides:
$x = \frac{20}{3}$
The value of $x$ is $\frac{20}{3}$.

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: 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: 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: Diagonal Properties

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

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: 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: 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: 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.

b) 20 cm
[Solution Description]
A rhombus has diagonals that bisect each other at $90^\circ$. Given $AC = 8$ cm, so $AO = CO = 4$ cm. Given $BD = 6$ cm, so $BO = DO = 3$ cm. Using the Pythagorean theorem in $\triangle AOB$:
$AB = \sqrt{AO^2 + BO^2} = \sqrt{4^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{16 + 9} = \sqrt{25} = 5$ cm.
Since all sides of a rhombus are equal, perimeter $= 4 \times AB = 4 \times 5 = 20$ cm.

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 Rhombus

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

Key Concept: Properties of Rhombus and Square

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

[Solution Description]
Adjacent angles in a rhombus add up to $180^\circ$.

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: Adjacent Angles in a Rhombus

d) $110^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In a rhombus, adjacent angles are supplementary, meaning they add up to $180^\circ$. Given $\angle A = 70^\circ$, we can find $\angle B$ using the property of adjacent angles:
$\angle A + \angle B = 180^\circ$
$70^\circ + \angle B = 180^\circ$
$\angle B = 180^\circ - 70^\circ = 110^\circ$
Therefore, the correct answer is option d).

Key Concept: Diagonals of Rhombus, Right Triangles

b) 40 cm
[Solution Description]
All sides of a rhombus are equal, so the perimeter is simply 4 times the side length. Given the side length is 10 cm:
$\text{Perimeter} = 4 \times 10\,\text{cm} = 40\,\text{cm}$
Note that the information about the diagonal is irrelevant for calculating the perimeter.

Key Concept: Angle Calculation in Rhombus

d) $120^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In a rhombus, adjacent angles add up to $180^\circ$ and opposite angles are equal. Given $\angle A = 60^\circ$, its adjacent angle $\angle B$ can be found as:
$\angle B = 180^\circ - \angle A = 180^\circ - 60^\circ = 120^\circ$

Key Concept: Angle properties, External points

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

Key Concept: Properties of Rhombus

c) They are equal.
[Solution Description]
According to Property 3 of a rhombus, the opposite angles are equal. For example, if one angle is $50^\circ$, its opposite angle will also be $50^\circ$.

Key Concept: Diagonals of Rhombus

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

Key Concept: Properties of Quadrilaterals, Constructing Quadrilaterals

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that in a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides, the diagonals bisect each other. This is true because such a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, and one of the properties of a parallelogram is that its diagonals bisect each other. The reason correctly identifies the quadrilateral as a parallelogram and states the property of diagonals bisecting each other, which explains the assertion. Therefore, both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

Key Concept: Extending Diagonals of Quadrilaterals

b) Square
[Solution Description]
Initially, the square has diagonals that are equal in length and perpendicular bisectors. Extending both diagonals equally by 2 cm on both sides means:
- The new endpoints are symmetrically placed around the original square.
- The distance between any two adjacent new vertices will be equal due to symmetry.
- The angles at the vertices remain 90 degrees because the extensions preserve the perpendicularity of the diagonals.
Thus, the resulting quadrilateral formed by joining the new endpoints is another square, as all sides and angles remain equal and perpendicular.

Key Concept: Quadrilateral Identification

When two diagonals are perpendicular and of equal length, the quadrilateral formed is a square because all sides and angles are equal.

Key Concept: Properties of Quadrilaterals

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: Diagonal Properties

c) It is a square
[Solution Description]
A quadrilateral with diagonals that are equal and perpendicular must be a square because it satisfies all properties of a square: equal sides, equal angles, and diagonals that bisect each other at 90\textdegree.

Key Concept: Properties of Quadrilaterals

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that a quadrilateral formed by two perpendicular diagonals of equal length is a rectangle. This is true because when diagonals are equal and intersect at $90^\circ$, they form a rectangle as all angles become right angles and opposite sides become equal. The reason states that diagonals of a rectangle are equal in length and bisect each other at $90^\circ$. This is also true as it is a property of rectangles. Further, the reason correctly explains the assertion because the properties mentioned in the reason lead to the conclusion in the assertion.

Key Concept: Diagonals of Quadrilaterals, Rectangle Formation

d) Square
[Solution Description]
When the diagonals of a quadrilateral are equal in length and bisect each other at $90^\circ$, all angles formed are $90^\circ$, and opposite sides are equal. This satisfies the properties of a square. However, since the sides are not necessarily equal, it could also be a rectangle. But given the diagonals intersect at $90^\circ$, it must be a square.

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 using scalene triangles

d) Parallelogram
[Solution Description]
When two identical scalene triangles (with sides 6 cm, 9 cm, and 12 cm) are joined along their 6 cm sides, the resulting quadrilateral will have sides measuring 9 cm, 12 cm, 12 cm, and 9 cm. Since both pairs of opposite sides are equal, it forms a parallelogram.

Key Concept: Joining Triangles, Kite Properties

d) Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
[Solution Description]
Consider two scalene triangles ABC and CDA with sides 6 cm, 9 cm, and 12 cm. When joined along the 9 cm side (AC), the quadrilateral ABCD will have AB = CD = 6 cm and BC = DA = 12 cm. This satisfies the definition of a kite ($AB = BC$ is false here; correct condition for kite is $AB = AD$ and $CB = CD$). The assertion incorrectly states the condition for a kite, while the reason provides the correct property. Thus, Assertion is false but Reason is true.

Key Concept: Constructing quadrilaterals using equilateral triangles

c) Rhombus
[Solution Description]
When two identical equilateral triangles are joined along one common side, the resulting figure has four sides. Since all sides of the original triangles are equal and they are joined along a common side, the new quadrilateral will have opposite sides equal in length. This makes it a rhombus.

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: 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: Kite Properties

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

Key Concept: Isosceles Trapezium Properties

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

Key Concept: Kite 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, 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: Relationship Between Kite and Rhombus

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

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: Isosceles Trapezium Property

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

Key Concept: Trapezium angle sum, Supplementary angles

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

Key Concept: 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: 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: Properties of Trapezium - Angles

c) $110^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In a trapezium with one pair of sides parallel (PQ$\parallel$SR), the sum of consecutive angles on the same side of the legs is $180^\circ$. Therefore:
$\angle P + \angle S = 180^\circ$
Substituting the given value:
$70^\circ + \angle S = 180^\circ \implies \angle S = 110^\circ$
Hence, the measure of $\angle S$ is $110^\circ$.

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: 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: Kite properties, Angle relationships

b) $100^\circ$
[Solution Description]
First, recall that in a kite, one diagonal bisects the angles at the vertices it connects. So, diagonal $BD$ bisects $\angle ABC$ and $\angle ADC$.
Given $\angle ABC = 120^\circ$, so $\angle ABO = \angle CBO = \frac{120^\circ}{2} = 60^\circ$.
Similarly, $\angle ADC = 80^\circ$, so $\angle ADO = \angle CDO = \frac{80^\circ}{2} = 40^\circ$.
Now, consider triangle $AOD$. The sum of angles in a triangle is $180^\circ$.
We know $\angle OAD$ can be found using the property that diagonals of a kite are perpendicular. Thus, $\angle AOD = 90^\circ$.
However, let's verify this by calculating $\angle OAD$:
In quadrilateral $ABCD$, the sum of all angles is $360^\circ$.
So, $\angle BAD + \angle ABC + \angle BCD + \angle CDA = 360^\circ$.
Since $AB = BC$ and $CD = DA$, we can find $\angle BAD = \angle BCD$ as follows:
Let $\angle BAD = x$, then $\angle BCD = x$ (because $AB = BC$ and $CD = DA$).
So, $x + 120^\circ + x + 80^\circ = 360^\circ$.
Which gives $2x + 200^\circ = 360^\circ$.
So, $2x = 160^\circ$ and $x = 80^\circ$.
Now, $\angle OAD = \frac{\angle BAD}{2} = \frac{80^\circ}{2} = 40^\circ$.
In triangle $AOD$, $\angle AOD + \angle OAD + \angle ODA = 180^\circ$.
Substituting known values: $\angle AOD + 40^\circ + 40^\circ = 180^\circ$.
So, $\angle AOD = 100^\circ$.
