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 a Square

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

Key Concept: Rectangles, Squares, Properties

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

Key Concept: Definition of a Rectangle

c) A quadrilateral with all angles equal to $90^\circ$ and opposite sides equal
[Solution Description]
A rectangle is a quadrilateral with all angles equal to $90^\circ$ and opposite sides equal. This matches the definition provided in the syllabus.

Key Concept: Diagonals of a Square

c) The diagonals are not perpendicular to each other.
[Solution Description]
The properties of the diagonals of a square are: (1) They are equal in length, (2) They bisect each other at $90^{\circ}$, and (3) They bisect the angles of the square. The statement "The diagonals are not perpendicular to each other" is false because, in a square, the diagonals are always perpendicular.

Key Concept: Square vs Rectangle

a) A square has all sides equal, while a rectangle does not.
[Solution Description]
A square is a special type of rectangle where all sides are equal. While all squares are rectangles, not all rectangles are squares. Rectangles only require opposite sides to be equal and all angles to be $90^\circ$.

Key Concept: Opposite Sides of a Rectangle

b) 8 cm
[Solution Description]
By the property of rectangles, opposite sides are equal in length. Here, $AB$ is opposite to $CD$. Since $AB = 8$ cm, then $CD$ must also be 8 cm.

Key Concept: Properties of Rectangles

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that the diagonals of rectangle $ABCD$, $AC$ and $BD$, are equal in length, which is a known property of rectangles. Therefore, the assertion is true.
The reason states that the diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other, which is also a known property of rectangles. However, this property does not explain why the diagonals are equal in length—it is an independent property. Thus, the reason is true, but it is not the correct explanation for the assertion.

Key Concept: Diagonals of a Rectangle

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

Key Concept: Diagonals of a Rhombus

c) The diagonals bisect each other.
[Solution Description]
Both squares and rhombuses have diagonals that bisect each other. However, while squares also have equal-length diagonals, rhombuses do not necessarily have this property unless they are squares themselves.

Key Concept: Diagonals of 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

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

Key Concept: Diagonals of a square

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

Key Concept: Assertion-Reason

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

Key Concept: Angles between diagonals in a rectangle

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

Key Concept: Diagonals, 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: 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: 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 Rectangle

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

Key Concept: Properties of Rectangles

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
In a rectangle, the diagonals are always equal in length. This is a proven property of rectangles. The diagonals also bisect each other, but this property alone does not explain why they are equal in length. Both statements are true, but the Reason does not correctly explain the Assertion.

Key Concept: Rectangle and Square Properties, Diagonal Congruence

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

Key Concept: Square Construction, Diagonal Properties

c) 8 cm
[Solution Description]
In a square, both diagonals are equal in length. Therefore, if one diagonal is 8 cm, the other diagonal must also be 8 cm. This is because squares have all properties of rectangles plus the additional property that all sides are equal, leading to equal diagonals.

Key Concept: Properties of Rectangle

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

Key Concept: 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: Angle Sum Property of Quadrilateral

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

Key Concept: Quadrilateral Construction

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

Key Concept: Square Properties

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

Key Concept: 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: 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: Properties of Rectangles and Squares

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

Key Concept: Special 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: Opposite angles in a parallelogram

c) $20^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal. Hence, $\angle A = \angle C$.
So, $3x + 10^\circ = 5x - 30^\circ$.
Subtract $3x$ from both sides: $10^\circ = 2x - 30^\circ$.
Add $30^\circ$ to both sides: $40^\circ = 2x$.
Divide by 2: $x = 20^\circ$.

Key Concept: Parallelogram angles

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

Key Concept: Quadrilateral Angle Sum, Variable Substitution

b) $50^\circ$
[Solution Description]
The sum of all angles in a quadrilateral is $360^\circ$. Let the fourth angle be $x$.
We can write the equation: $70^\circ + 110^\circ + 130^\circ + x = 360^\circ$.
Adding the known angles: $310^\circ + x = 360^\circ$.
Subtract $310^\circ$ from both sides: $x = 50^\circ$.
Therefore, the fourth angle is $50^\circ$.

Key Concept: Diagonals of a quadrilateral

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

Key Concept: Rectangle properties

d) Rectangle
[Solution Description]
A rectangle is defined as a quadrilateral with all four angles equal to $90^\circ$, opposite sides equal, and opposite sides parallel.

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: Angles formed by diagonals in a quadrilateral

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

Key Concept: 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: Properties of quadrilaterals

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

Key Concept: Quadrilateral construction, angle sum

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

Key Concept: 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: Sum of angles in a quadrilateral

c) $360^\circ$
[Solution Description]
The sum of all angles in any quadrilateral is always $360^\circ$. This can be derived by dividing the quadrilateral into two triangles and adding their angle sums ($180^\circ + 180^\circ = 360^\circ$).

Key Concept: Properties of Parallelograms

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

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

Key Concept: Properties of 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 Parallelogram, Diagonal Bisection

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

Key Concept: Assertion-Reason Question

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

Key Concept: 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: 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: Special Cases of Parallelograms

d) Square
[Solution Description]
A quadrilateral with all sides equal and all angles equal to $90^\circ$ is called a square. This is because a square is a special type of rectangle where all sides are equal.

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: Diagonal Properties

c) Diagonals are equal and bisect each other.
[Solution Description]
The diagonals of a rectangle are equal in length and bisect each other. This is a key property that distinguishes rectangles from general parallelograms.

Key Concept: Venn Diagram of Quadrilaterals

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

Key Concept: Venn Diagram: Relationship between 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 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: Adjacent angles, Opposite angles

c) $130^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In a rhombus, adjacent angles add up to $180^\circ$. If one angle is $50^\circ$, then the adjacent angle will be $180^\circ - 50^\circ = 130^\circ$.

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 of Rhombus

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

Key Concept: Types of Quadrilaterals

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

Key Concept: Adjacent Angles of a Rhombus

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

Key Concept: Properties of Rhombus, Angles in Rhombus

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

Key Concept: Adjacent Angles in a Rhombus

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

Key Concept: Properties of a Rhombus

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

Key Concept: 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 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: Diagonals of Rhombus

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

Key Concept: Properties of Rhombus

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

Key Concept: Folding Paper Activity

c) Kite

[Solution Description]

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

Key Concept: 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: 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 Diagonals in Quadrilaterals

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

Key Concept: Quadrilateral Properties, Angle Sum Property

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

Key Concept: 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

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: 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: 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: Constructing quadrilaterals using isosceles triangles

b) Kite
[Solution Description]
When two identical isosceles triangles (with sides 8 cm, 8 cm, 6 cm) are joined along their unequal sides (6 cm), the resulting quadrilateral will have two pairs of adjacent sides equal. This forms a kite because $AB = BC$ (8 cm each) and $CD = DA$ (8 cm each).

Key Concept: Joining Triangles, Kite Properties

d) All of the above
[Solution Description]
When two equilateral triangles of side 8 cm are joined along one common side, the resulting quadrilateral is a rhombus. A rhombus has all sides equal and opposite angles equal. The diagonals bisect each other at 90 degrees and also bisect the vertex angles. Hence, all the given properties apply.

Key Concept: Properties of a Kite

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

Key Concept: Trapezium angles, Isosceles trapezium properties

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

Key Concept: Kite and Trapezium combined, Angle calculation

c) 120$^\circ$
[Solution Description]
The quadrilateral described is a combination of kite and trapezium properties. As it has two pairs of adjacent sides equal, it must be a kite. But it also has one pair of parallel sides, making it a trapezium. Hence, it is an isosceles trapezium where non-parallel sides are equal. Given one angle as $120^\circ$, the adjacent angle on the same side of the transversal will be $60^\circ$ (since they add up to $180^\circ$). The opposite angles in an isosceles trapezium are supplementary, so the largest angle will be $120^\circ$.

Key Concept: Kite and Trapezium

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

Key Concept: Property of Diagonals in Kite

b) Bisects $\angle ABC$ and $\angle ADC$
[Solution Description]
According to the properties of a kite, diagonal BD bisects $\angle ABC$ and $\angle ADC$. Additionally, it bisects the other diagonal AC, making $AO = OC$, and is perpendicular to AC.

Key Concept: Kite Properties

d) Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that the diagonals of a kite bisect each other at right angles. According to the properties of a kite, one diagonal bisects the other and is perpendicular to it, but only one diagonal gets bisected (not both). Hence, the assertion is false.
The reason states that a kite has two pairs of adjacent sides equal, which is true as per the definition of a kite. Therefore, the assertion is false, but the reason is true.

Key Concept: 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: 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 angles, Isosceles trapezium properties

b) $105^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Property of isosceles trapezium states that angles adjacent to each base are equal. Here, $\angle A = \angle B = 75^\circ$. Sum of angles on same side of leg in trapezium is $180^\circ$, so $\angle D = 180^\circ - 75^\circ = 105^\circ$. Since it's isosceles, $\angle C = \angle D = 105^\circ$.

Key Concept: Isosceles trapezium properties

b) $70^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In an isosceles trapezium, the angles opposite to the equal sides are equal. Therefore, $\angle U = \angle V$. Given that $\angle U = 70^\circ$, it follows that $\angle V$ is also $70^\circ$.

Key Concept: Trapezium, 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: 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: Angle Relationships in Trapezium

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

Key Concept: Kite Diagonal Properties, Trapezium Angle Relationships

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

Key Concept: Kite properties, Angle relationships

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

Key Concept: Properties of Kite: Diagonals

c) Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
[Solution Description]
According to the property of a kite, one of the diagonals (the one connecting the vertices with equal adjacent sides) bisects the other diagonal at $90^\circ$ and also bisects the angles at those vertices. However, the diagonals of a kite do not necessarily bisect each other completely; only one diagonal is bisected by the other. Therefore, the Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.
