Key Concept: Diagonal Properties

c) The quadrilateral must be a rectangle.
[Solution Description]
By definition, a quadrilateral with equal and bisecting diagonals must be a rectangle. If the angle between the diagonals is also $90^\circ$, it becomes a square, but otherwise, it remains a rectangle. Hence, option c) is correct.

Key Concept: Properties of Squares and Rectangles

d) Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that the diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other at $90^\circ$. However, this is false because in a rectangle, the diagonals bisect each other but not necessarily at $90^\circ$ (they do so only in squares). The reason states that a rectangle has all sides equal and all angles equal to $90^\circ$, which is also false since rectangles have opposite sides equal but not necessarily all sides equal (only squares satisfy this condition).
Therefore, both Assertion and Reason are false. But according to the given options, the closest correct choice is:
Assertion is false, but Reason is true.

Key Concept: Properties of Rectangle

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

Key Concept: Rectangles, Diagonals

c) $10$ cm
[Solution Description]
To find the length of the diagonal of a rectangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. The diagonal divides the rectangle into two right-angled triangles. For a rectangle with sides $a$ and $b$, the diagonal $d$ is given by $d = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$. Here, $a = 8$ cm and $b = 6$ cm. So,
$d = \sqrt{8^2 + 6^2} = \sqrt{64 + 36} = \sqrt{100} = 10 \text{ cm}.$
Thus, the diagonal is $10$ cm.

Key Concept: Properties of a Square

c) 32 cm
[Solution Description]
Given the diagonal $d = 8\sqrt{2}$ cm. For a square, the relationship between the side $s$ and the diagonal $d$ is given by $d = s\sqrt{2}$. Solving for $s$, we get $s = \frac{d}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{8\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}} = 8$ cm. The perimeter of the square is $4s = 4 \times 8 = 32$ cm.

Key Concept: Area Calculation with Diagonals

c) $44\%$
[Solution Description]
Let the original diagonal be $d$ and the original side length be $s$. Then, $d = s\sqrt{2}$ and the area is $A = s^2 = \left(\frac{d}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2 = \frac{d^2}{2}$. If the diagonal increases by $20\%$, the new diagonal is $1.2d$. The new area becomes:
$A' = \frac{(1.2d)^2}{2} = \frac{1.44d^2}{2} = 1.44A$
The percentage increase in area is $(1.44 - 1) \times 100\% = 44\%$.

Key Concept: Properties of Rectangles, Diagonals

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
Let us analyze the assertion and reason step by step:
1. The assertion states that if diagonals of a quadrilateral are equal and bisect each other at $90^\circ$, it must be a square. From the syllabus, we know this is true because the square has diagonals meeting these conditions.
2. The reason states that in a rectangle, diagonals are equal and bisect each other but may not intersect at $90^\circ$. This is also true as only squares (special rectangles) have diagonals intersecting at $90^\circ$, while general rectangles do not satisfy this condition.
3. However, the reason correctly explains why the assertion is true: A quadrilateral with diagonals equal and bisecting at $90^\circ$ must be a square because no other rectangle satisfies this property.
Therefore, both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason provides the correct explanation for the assertion.

Key Concept: Diagonals, Opposite Sides

b) 5 cm
[Solution Description]
First, find the length of diagonal $AC$ using the Pythagorean theorem since all angles in a rectangle are $90^\circ$.
$AC = \sqrt{AB^2 + AD^2} = \sqrt{6^2 + 8^2} = \sqrt{36 + 64} = \sqrt{100} = 10 \text{ cm}$
Since the diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other, $AO$ is half of $AC$.
$AO = \frac{AC}{2} = \frac{10}{2} = 5 \text{ cm}$

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: Angles Between Diagonals

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

Key Concept: Diagonals of 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 a Square

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

Key Concept: Diagonals, Congruence, Angle Properties

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

Key Concept: Diagonal Intersection, Angle Calculation

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

Key Concept: Angles between diagonals of a rectangle

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

Key Concept: Diagonals, Angles in Quadrilaterals

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

Key Concept: Properties of Rectangles and Squares

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

Key Concept: Properties of square diagonals

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

Key Concept: Construction of Square

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

Key Concept: Diagonals of 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 Rectangle Diagonals

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

Key Concept: Rectangle and Square Properties, Diagonal Congruence

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

Key Concept: Diagonals of Square

a) Diagonals must be perpendicular
[Solution Description]
For a quadrilateral to be a square, its diagonals must not only be equal in length and bisect each other but also intersect at 90\degree. This ensures all sides are equal and all angles are 90\degree.

Key Concept: Quadrilateral Angles, Side Lengths

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

Key Concept: Properties of a Square

c) The diagonals are not equal in length.
[Solution Description]
Properties of a square:
1. All sides are equal.
2. All angles are $90^\circ$.
3. Diagonals are equal, bisect each other at $90^\circ$, and also bisect the angles.
The statement "The diagonals are not equal in length" is false for a square.

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: Square and Rectangle Properties

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

Key Concept: Quadrilateral Angles

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

Key Concept: 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: 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

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, relationship between angles

d) 90°
[Solution Description]
Step 1: Given that angles P and R are supplementary, so $P + R = 180°$.
Step 2: Given $P = 110°$, so $R = 180° - 110° = 70°$.
Step 3: Angles Q and S are supplementary, so $Q + S = 180°$.
Step 4: Sum of all angles in quadrilateral PQRS is 360°.
Step 5: So, $P + Q + R + S = 360°$ ⇒ $110° + Q + 70° + S = 360°$.
Step 6: From step 3, substitute Q as $(180° - S)$ ⇒ $110° + (180° - S) + 70° + S = 360°$.
Step 7: Solve the equation: $110° + 180° - S + 70° + S = 360°$ ⇒ $360° = 360°$.
This shows that angle S can be any value as long as $Q + S = 180°$. However, since the options provided are specific, we need to consider possible constraints. Typically, for a valid quadrilateral, $S$ must be such that none of the angles exceed practical limits.

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: 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: Quadrilateral Angle Sum Property

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

Key Concept: 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: Angles in a Quadrilateral, Sum of Angles

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

Key Concept: 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: Properties of Parallelogram

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

Key Concept: 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 and Rhombus

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

Key Concept: 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 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: Congruent triangles in a parallelogram

c) $\Delta ABD \cong \Delta BDC$
[Solution Description]
In parallelogram ABCD, opposite sides are equal ($AB = CD$ and $AD = CB$). By the SSS (Side-Side-Side) congruence condition, $\Delta ABD \cong \Delta CDB$ because $AB = CD$, $AD = CB$, and the common side BD is equal to itself. Hence, these two triangles are congruent.

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: Rectangles as a type of parallelogram, Diagonals in rectangles and parallelograms

d) Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that the diagonals of a rectangle are perpendicular to each other. However, this is not a property of rectangles. The correct property is that the diagonals of a rectangle are equal in length and bisect each other but are not necessarily perpendicular. They are perpendicular only in the case of a square, which is a special type of rectangle. Therefore, the Assertion is false. The reason states that the diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other at $90^{\circ}$, which is also false because while they do bisect each other, it is not necessary that they do so at $90^{\circ}$. Hence, both the Assertion and Reason are false. Thus, none of the given options is correct, but among the provided options, option d) best matches since the Reason is partially true (diagonals bisect each other, though not always at $90^{\circ}$). Note: There might be an issue with the question design as all options involve truth values that don't perfectly match.

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 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: 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 of Quadrilaterals

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

Key Concept: Venn Diagram, Properties of Quadrilaterals

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

Key Concept: Venn Diagram Relationships

d) Square
[Solution Description]
A square has all the properties of both a rectangle and a rhombus. It has all angles equal to $90^\circ$ (like a rectangle) and all sides equal (like a rhombus). Therefore, the correct answer is Square.

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: Diagonals and side length relationship

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

Key Concept: 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: Properties of Rhombus and Square

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

Key Concept: 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, 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: Adjacent Angles of a Rhombus

c) $180^\circ$
[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: 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: 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: 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: Side length, Diagonal relationship

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

Key Concept: Properties of Rhombus

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: Properties of Quadrilaterals

c) Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that a quadrilateral with diagonals intersecting at right angles and equal in length is a square. This is true because such properties are unique to squares among quadrilaterals. However, the reason claims that a quadrilateral with all sides equal and diagonals equal in length must be a rectangle. This is false because rhombuses also have all sides equal, but their diagonals are not necessarily equal unless they are squares.
Therefore, the assertion is true, but the reason is false.

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: Properties of Quadrilaterals

d) Square
[Solution Description]
When the diagonals of a quadrilateral are perpendicular and equal in length, the quadrilateral must be a square. In a square, the diagonals bisect each other at $90^{\circ}$ and are equal in length.

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: 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: Joining Triangles: Types of Quadrilaterals

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

Key Concept: 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: Geoboard Activity, Quadrilateral Properties

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

Key Concept: Constructing quadrilaterals by joining triangles of equal sides

c) Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
[Solution Description]
The Assertion (A) is true because two equilateral triangles of side length 8 cm can indeed be joined along one of their sides to form a quadrilateral (specifically, a rhombus). However, the Reason (R) is false because joining two congruent triangles along their equal sides does not necessarily result in a rectangle; it could also form other types of quadrilaterals such as a rhombus or parallelogram.

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, Trapezium Properties

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

Key Concept: Constructing Quadrilaterals

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

Key Concept: 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: 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: 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 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: Classification of Quadrilaterals

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

Key Concept: Kite 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: 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

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
In a kite ABCD, where AB = BC and CD = DA, the diagonal BD divides the kite into two congruent triangles $\Delta ABD$ and $\Delta CBD$ by SSS congruency (since AB = BC, AD = DC, and BD is common). This congruence implies that $\angle ABD = \angle CBD$ and $\angle ADB = \angle CDB$, meaning BD bisects both $\angle ABC$ and $\angle ADC$. Additionally, since $\Delta AOB$ and $\Delta COB$ are congruent (by SAS congruency as AB = CB, $\angle ABO = \angle CBO$, and BO is common), AO = OC, proving BD bisects AC. Therefore, both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason correctly explains Assertion.

Key Concept: Trapezium: Angle Calculation

b) $\angle B = 75^\circ$, $\angle C = 105^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Since $AB \parallel CD$ and $AD$ is the transversal, the sum of the angles on the same side of the transversal is $180^\circ$. Therefore, $\angle A + \angle D = 105^\circ + 75^\circ = 180^\circ$ which is correct. Now, the sum of all angles in a quadrilateral is $360^\circ$. So, $\angle B + \angle C = 360^\circ - (\angle A + \angle D) = 360^\circ - 180^\circ = 180^\circ$. Also, since $AB \parallel CD$ and $BC$ is the transversal, $\angle B + \angle C = 180^\circ$. Hence, both $\angle B$ and $\angle C$ must be supplementary but not necessarily equal unless it's an isosceles trapezium.

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: 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: 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

c) Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
[Solution Description]
**Assertion Analysis:**
According to the properties of a kite, one diagonal ($BD$) bisects the angles at its vertices. So, in kite $ABCD$, $BD$ bisects $\angle ABC$ and $\angle ADC$. Thus, Assertion (A) is true.
**Reason Analysis:**
The Reason states that the diagonals of a kite always bisect each other at right angles. However, this is not accurate. Only one diagonal ($BD$) bisects the other ($AC$) at right angles; the reverse is not necessarily true. Therefore, Reason (R) is false.
**Conclusion:**
Since Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false, the correct answer corresponds to option c).

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: Properties of Isosceles Trapezium - Angles

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