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: Properties of Squares and Rectangles

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that the diagonals of a square bisect its angles, which is true as per the properties of a square. The reason states that a square has all sides equal and diagonals perpendicular to each other, which is also true. However, the reason does not explain why the diagonals of a square bisect its angles. The correct explanation would involve the fact that the diagonals of a square are angle bisectors due to the congruence of triangles formed by the diagonals and sides of the square. Thus, both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.

Key Concept: Square as a Rectangle

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

Key Concept: 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: 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: Square Properties

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

Key Concept: 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: Square Properties, Diagonal

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

Key Concept: Congruency of Triangles

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

Key Concept: Diagonals of a Rectangle

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The assertion is true because the diagonals of a rectangle are always equal in length, as proven by the properties of rectangles. The reason is also true because the diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other at their midpoints. Furthermore, the reason correctly explains why the assertion is true, as both properties (equality and bisecting each other) are fundamental to the definition and properties of a rectangle.

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: 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 of a rhombus

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

Key Concept: Angles between diagonals of a rectangle

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

Key Concept: 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: 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: 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: 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 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 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: 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: Properties of Rectangles

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
From the syllabus, we know that if the diagonals of a quadrilateral are equal and bisect each other, then it must be a rectangle. So, the assertion (A) is true. However, the reason (R) states that the diagonals bisect at $90^\circ$, which is only true for squares, not all rectangles. Therefore, while both statements are individually correct, the reason does not correctly explain the assertion.

Key Concept: Definition of a Rectangle

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that a quadrilateral with diagonals equal in length and bisecting each other is a rectangle, which aligns with the alternative definition of a rectangle mentioned in the syllabus. The reason correctly states that in a rectangle, the diagonals are equal and bisect each other. Moreover, the reason provides the justification for why such a quadrilateral must be a rectangle, making it the correct explanation of the assertion.

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: 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 Squares and Rectangles, Geometric Reasoning

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
A square has diagonals that bisect each other at $90^\circ$ and are equal in length (Property 4 of squares). Since all sides of a square are equal (Property 1), the four triangles formed by the intersection of diagonals have two sides equal (half the diagonal) and the included angle as $90^\circ$. By SAS congruency, these triangles are congruent. Hence, both Assertion and Reason are true, and the Reason explains why the Assertion is true.

Key Concept: Diagonals of a Rectangle

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

Key Concept: Construction of Parallelograms and Relation to Rectangles

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

Key Concept: 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: Properties of Rectangles and Squares

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

Key Concept: 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: 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: 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

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

Key Concept: Sum of angles in a quadrilateral, properties of diagonals

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

Key Concept: Sum of angles in a quadrilateral, 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

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

Key Concept: Constructing quadrilaterals

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

Key Concept: Properties of quadrilaterals with three right angles

b) $90^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Since the sum of angles in a quadrilateral is $360^\circ$, if three angles are $90^\circ$ each, the fourth angle must be $360^\circ - (3 \times 90^\circ) = 90^\circ$.

Key Concept: Sum of angles in a quadrilateral

b) $80^\circ$
[Solution Description]
The sum of all four angles in a quadrilateral is $360^\circ$. Given three angles as $90^\circ$, $90^\circ$, and $100^\circ$, let the fourth angle be $x$. Then:
$90^\circ + 90^\circ + 100^\circ + x = 360^\circ$
$280^\circ + x = 360^\circ$
$x = 80^\circ$
So, the fourth angle measures $80^\circ$.

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: 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, Supplementary Angles

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

Key Concept: Properties of Parallelograms and Rhombus

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

Key Concept: Special Cases: Rhombus, Rectangle, Square

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

Key Concept: Definition of Parallelogram

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

Key Concept: Properties 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: 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: Diagonals of a parallelogram

b) They bisect each other.
[Solution Description]
The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other but are not necessarily equal in length. Only in special cases like rectangles or squares, the diagonals are equal. Hence, the correct statement is that the diagonals bisect each other.

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: 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: Rectangles as a type of parallelogram

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

Key Concept: Rectangle as a Parallelogram

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

Key Concept: Properties of Quadrilaterals, Venn Diagram

d) Square
[Solution Description]
A quadrilateral with diagonals that are equal in length is either a rectangle or a square. Additionally, if the diagonals bisect each other at $90^\circ$, it must be a square because rectangles have equal diagonals but they do not necessarily bisect each other at $90^\circ$. Only squares satisfy both conditions: equal diagonals and perpendicular bisectors.

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: Relationship between squares, rectangles, and rhombuses

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

Key Concept: Venn Diagram: Relationship between quadrilaterals

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

Key Concept: Properties of Rhombus

d) Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
[Solution Description]
The Assertion states that every rhombus is a square, which is false because a rhombus only requires all sides to be equal but does not require all angles to be $90^\circ$. The Reason correctly describes a square as having all sides equal and all angles equal to $90^\circ$, which is true but does not explain the Assertion since the Assertion is incorrect.
Therefore, the Assertion is false, but the Reason is true.

Key Concept: Quadrilaterals with Equal Side Lengths, Properties of Rhombus and Square

d) Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
[Solution Description]
To analyze this assertion-reason pair, let's examine the properties of quadrilaterals with equal side lengths:
1. Assertion states that a quadrilateral with all sides equal must be a square. However, from the syllabus, we know that a rhombus also has all sides equal but does not necessarily have all angles as 90\textdegree. Hence, the assertion is false because there are other quadrilaterals (like rhombuses) with equal side lengths that are not squares.
2. Reason states that the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at 90\textdegree. This is true as per Property 4 of a rhombus mentioned in the syllabus.
3. Since the assertion is false and the reason is true, the correct answer corresponds to option d).

Key Concept: Properties of Rhombus

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

Key Concept: Diagonals and side length relationship

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

Key Concept: Opposite Angles of a Rhombus

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

Key Concept: Basic Properties of a Rhombus

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

Key Concept: 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: Diagonals of a Rhombus

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

Key Concept: Properties of Rhombus - Diagonals and Angles

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]

The assertion is true because the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles, that is, $90^\circ$. The reason is also true because the diagonals of a rhombus bisect the opposite angles. However, the angle-bisecting property does not directly explain why the diagonals intersect at $90^\circ$. Therefore, both statements are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.

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: Adjacent Angles of Rhombus

b) $110^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Property 3 mentions that adjacent angles in a rhombus add up to $180^\circ$. If one angle is $70^\circ$, then its adjacent angle will be $180^\circ - 70^\circ = 110^\circ$.

Key Concept: Properties of Rhombus

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

Key Concept: Folding Paper to Form Quadrilaterals

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

Key Concept: Construction of Parallelograms

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

Key Concept: Parallelograms

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

Key Concept: Quadrilateral Identification

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

Key Concept: Quadrilateral Properties

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

Key Concept: Properties of Quadrilaterals

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

Key Concept: 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: 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: Kite Properties

b) Kite
[Solution Description]
When two isosceles triangles with sides 8 cm, 8 cm, and 6 cm are joined along their unequal sides (6 cm), the resulting quadrilateral has adjacent sides equal (8 cm each). This satisfies the definition of a kite, where two pairs of adjacent sides are equal. Thus, the quadrilateral formed is a kite.

Key Concept: 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: Construction of quadrilaterals using triangles

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

Key Concept: 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: Kite properties, Diagonal bisection

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

Key Concept: 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 and Trapezium

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

Key Concept: Definition of Kite

c) A quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent sides equal
[Solution Description]
A kite is a quadrilateral with two distinct pairs of adjacent sides equal. By definition, if a quadrilateral ABCD has $AB = BC$ and $CD = DA$, then it is a kite.

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: 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: Kite diagonals, congruence

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

Key Concept: Sum of angles in a quadrilateral

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

Key Concept: 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 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 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: 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: Trapezium properties, Angle relationships

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

Key Concept: Diagonals of an Isosceles Trapezium

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

Key Concept: 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 $OC = 4\,cm$.
