Key Concept: Venn Diagram Representation

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

Key Concept: Properties of Squares and Rectangles

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

Key Concept: Square properties

c) Square
[Solution Description]
A quadrilateral with all sides equal and one angle as 90° must have all angles as 90° (since opposite angles are equal and adjacent angles are supplementary). Hence, it is a square.

Key Concept: Rectangle properties, Diagonal congruence

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that $\triangle AOB \cong \triangle COD$ by SAS congruence in rectangle $ABCD$.
Step 1: Properties of rectangle diagonals - Diagonals are equal in length ($AC = BD$) and bisect each other at point $O$. So, $AO = OC$ and $BO = OD$.
Step 2: Since opposite sides of rectangle are equal, $AB = CD$.
Step 3: Included angle between sides $AO$ and $BO$ is $\angle AOB$, which is equal to $\angle COD$ (vertically opposite angles).
Thus, by SAS criteria ($AO = OC$, $\angle AOB = \angle COD$, $BO = OD$), $\triangle AOB \cong \triangle COD$.
The reason correctly states that diagonals are equal and bisect each other, but this property alone does not directly explain why SAS congruence holds because it doesn't mention the vertically opposite angles or the equality of opposite sides. Hence, both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation.

b) 50 cm$^2$
[Solution Description]
Given the diagonal $d = 10$ cm. Using the relationship $d = s\sqrt{2}$, we find the side length $s$ as $s = \frac{d}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{10}{\sqrt{2}} = 5\sqrt{2}$ cm. The area of the square is $s^2 = (5\sqrt{2})^2 = 25 \times 2 = 50$ cm$^2$.

Key Concept: Diagonals and Angles

b) $45^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In a square, the diagonals bisect each other at right angles, forming four congruent right-angled triangles. In triangle $AOB$, $\angle AOB = 90^\circ$ and the diagonals also bisect the angles of the square. Thus, $\angle OAB$ is half of $\angle DAB$ since the diagonal $AC$ bisects $\angle DAB$. Since all angles in a square are $90^\circ$, $\angle DAB = 90^\circ$ and $\angle OAB = 45^\circ$.

Key Concept: Properties of Rectangles

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

Key Concept: Properties of a rectangle

d) Opposite sides are equal and parallel.
[Solution Description]
A rectangle has four right angles (each 90°), opposite sides equal and parallel, and diagonals that are equal in length and bisect each other.

Key Concept: Diagonal Properties of Square and Rhombus, Conceptual Complexity

c) 32
[Solution Description]
Step 1: In a square, diagonals are equal and bisect each other at right angles. So, $PR = QS$ and $PT = TR = QT = TS = 4\sqrt{2}$. Thus, full diagonal $PR = 8\sqrt{2}$.
Step 2: Let side of square be s. By Pythagoras' theorem in triangle PQR: $PR^2 = PQ^2 + QR^2$. But since all sides are equal, $PQ = QR = s$. So, $(8\sqrt{2})^2 = s^2 + s^2 = 2s^2$.
Step 3: Simplify: $128 = 2s^2$ → $s^2 = 64$ → $s = 8$.
Step 4: Perimeter = $4 \times 8 = 32$.

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

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

Key Concept: Diagonals of a Rectangle

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

Key Concept: Diagonals of Rectangle

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

Key Concept: Diagonals, 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: 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: 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: Properties of diagonals in a square

b) $90^\circ$, $90^\circ$, $90^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In a square, the diagonals are equal, bisect each other, and intersect at $90^\circ$. Therefore, the angles at the intersection are all equal. If one angle is $x = 90^\circ$, the other three angles will also be $90^\circ$ due to vertically opposite angles and linear pairs.

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 and reasoning about squares

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

Key Concept: 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: 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: Rectangle Definition

c) 8 cm
[Solution Description]
In a rectangle, both diagonals are equal in length. Since one diagonal is given as 8 cm, the other diagonal must also be 8 cm.

Key Concept: Angles Between Diagonals

c) $90^\circ$
[Solution Description]
For a square, the diagonals not only bisect each other but also intersect at right angles ($90^\circ$). So, the carpenter must ensure the angle between the diagonals is $90^\circ$.

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 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: Properties of Rectangle

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

Key Concept: 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: Angle Sum Property of Quadrilateral

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

Key Concept: Properties of a Rectangle

c) They are equal in length and bisect each other
[Solution Description]
The diagonals of a rectangle have two key properties: they are equal in length and bisect each other. This means they divide each other into two equal parts at the point of intersection.

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 a Rectangle

b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
[Solution Description]
The assertion states that a quadrilateral with all angles equal to $90^\circ$ is always a rectangle, which is true by definition. The reason states that a quadrilateral with diagonals that bisect each other and are equal in length must have all angles equal to $90^\circ$. While this is also true, the reason does not correctly explain the assertion because the assertion is about angles, whereas the reason is about diagonals. Therefore, both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.

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: 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: Sum of angles in a quadrilateral

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

Key Concept: Sum of angles in a quadrilateral

c) 360$^\circ$
[Solution Description]
The sum of all interior angles of any quadrilateral is always $360^\circ$, as per the angle sum property of quadrilaterals.

Key Concept: Parallelogram angles

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

Key Concept: Sum of angles in a quadrilateral

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

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

Key Concept: Sum of angles in a quadrilateral

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

Key Concept: 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 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: 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

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: 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: 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: Adjacent Angles in Parallelogram

b) $130^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Adjacent angles in a parallelogram are supplementary, meaning they add up to $180^\circ$. If one angle is $50^\circ$, the adjacent angle will be $180^\circ - 50^\circ = 130^\circ$.

Key Concept: Opposite Angles in Parallelogram

a) $70^\circ$
[Solution Description]
In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal. So, if $\angle A = 70^\circ$, then $\angle C$ will also be $70^\circ$ because they are opposite angles.

Key Concept: Properties of Parallelograms and Rhombus

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

Key Concept: Adjacent Angles in Parallelogram

b) $92^{\circ}$
[Solution Description]
In a parallelogram, adjacent angles are supplementary, meaning they add up to $180^{\circ}$. Therefore, $\angle A + \angle D = 180^{\circ}$.
Given:
$\angle A = (3x + 10)^{\circ}$
$\angle D = (2x + 40)^{\circ}$
Set up the equation:
$(3x + 10) + (2x + 40) = 180$
Combine like terms:
$5x + 50 = 180$
Subtract $50$ from both sides:
$5x = 130$
Divide by $5$ on both sides:
$x = 26$
Now find $\angle A$:
$\angle A = 3(26) + 10 = 88^{\circ}$
In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal, so $\angle B = \angle D$.
Thus, $\angle B = 2(26) + 40 = 92^{\circ}$
The measure of $\angle B$ is $92^{\circ}$.

Key Concept: Opposite sides and diagonals of parallelogram

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

Key Concept: Parallelogram Properties

d) Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
[Solution Description]
Assertion (A) claims that the diagonals of a parallelogram are equal in length. However, according to the syllabus, while the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other (Property 4), they need not be equal in length (as stated under "Note"). Therefore, the assertion is false.
Reason (R) states that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, which is true as per Property 4 in the syllabus.
Thus, Assertion is false while Reason is true.

Key Concept: 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: 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: 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: 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: Diagonal Properties

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

Key Concept: Venn Diagram: 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, Properties of Quadrilaterals

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

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: Angle Properties in Rhombus

d) $120^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Adjacent angles in a rhombus are supplementary (add up to $180^\circ$). Given $\angle A = 60^\circ$, we can find $\angle B$ using the property:
$\angle A + \angle B = 180^\circ$
$60^\circ + \angle B = 180^\circ$
$\angle B = 180^\circ - 60^\circ = 120^\circ$.
The opposite angles in a rhombus are equal, so $\angle D = \angle B = 120^\circ$.

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 and Square

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

Key Concept: 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

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: Diagonals of a Rhombus

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

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 Rhombus, Angle Relationships

c) $180^\circ$
[Solution Description]
Opposite angles in a rhombus are equal, so $\angle PQR = \angle PSR = 110^\circ$. Adjacent angles in a rhombus are supplementary, so $\angle QPS = 180^\circ - \angle PQR = 70^\circ$. Therefore, the sum is:
$\angle QPS + \angle RSP = 70^\circ + 110^\circ = 180^\circ$

Key Concept: Basic Properties of a Rhombus

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

Key Concept: Properties of Rhombus

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

Key Concept: Diagonal Properties

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

Key Concept: Angle properties, External points

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

Key Concept: Properties of Rhombus

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: 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: Diagonals of Quadrilaterals, Properties of Squares and Rhombuses

c) Rhombus
[Solution Description]
The properties described here are:
- Diagonals are perpendicular to each other.
- Diagonals bisect each other.
- Diagonals are not equal in length.
From the given conditions, the quadrilateral cannot be a square because squares have equal-length diagonals. It also cannot be a rectangle since rectangles do not necessarily have perpendicular diagonals. However, a rhombus satisfies all the given conditions: its diagonals are perpendicular bisectors but are not equal in length. Therefore, the quadrilateral must be a rhombus.

Key Concept: Properties of Quadrilaterals

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

Key Concept: Extending Diagonals of Quadrilaterals

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

Key Concept: Quadrilateral 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: Geoboard Activity, Quadrilateral Properties

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

Key Concept: Joining Triangles: Types of Quadrilaterals

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

Key Concept: Diagonal Properties

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

Key Concept: 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, Diagonals

b) They bisect each other perpendicularly
[Solution Description]
In a kite ABCD with AB = BC and CD = DA, diagonal BD bisects the other diagonal AC perpendicularly. This means BD divides AC into two equal parts (AO = OC) and forms right angles (90 degrees) with AC. Additionally, BD also bisects the angles ABC and ADC.

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: Isosceles Trapezium

d) Both $\angle U = \angle V$ and $\angle W = \angle X$
[Solution Description]
An isosceles trapezium has equal non-parallel sides and equal base angles. Therefore, angles opposite to the equal sides are equal.

Key Concept: Trapezium Angles

c) $110^\circ$
[Solution Description]
For a trapezium with parallel sides, the sum of adjacent angles is $180^\circ$. Given $\angle P = 70^\circ$, then $\angle S = 180^\circ - 70^\circ = 110^\circ$.

Key Concept: 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: 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: 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: Kite construction, side lengths

c) $30$ cm
[Solution Description]
A kite must satisfy the triangle inequality for each pair of triangles formed by the diagonals. For sides 6 cm and 9 cm, let the shorter sides be repeated.
Then, the sides are 6, 6, 9, 9, giving a perimeter of $6 + 6 + 9 + 9 = 30$ cm. This satisfies all geometric constraints.

Key Concept: Isosceles Trapezium: Property Verification

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

Key Concept: 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 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: Kite and Trapezium properties, Diagonals

a) $40$ cm
[Solution Description]
Let the kite be $ABCD$ with diagonals $AC$ and $BD$ intersecting at $O$.
Given, $AC = 16$ cm and $BD = 12$ cm.
Since diagonals of a kite intersect at right angles and one diagonal is bisected, assume $AO = OC = \frac{16}{2} = 8$ cm, and $BO = OD = \frac{12}{2} = 6$ cm.
Now, using Pythagoras' theorem in triangles $AOB$ and $BOC$:
For triangle $AOB$, $AB = \sqrt{AO^2 + BO^2} = \sqrt{8^2 + 6^2} = \sqrt{64 + 36} = \sqrt{100} = 10$ cm.
Similarly, for triangle $BOC$, $BC = \sqrt{BO^2 + CO^2} = \sqrt{6^2 + 8^2} = \sqrt{36 + 64} = \sqrt{100} = 10$ cm.
For a kite, $AB = BC$ and $CD = DA$.
So, the perimeter $P = AB + BC + CD + DA = 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 40$ cm.
However, looking back at the problem, it's given that only one diagonal is bisected (which is $AC$ in our assumption). But in a kite, both diagonals have specific properties: one is bisected ($AC$) and the other is perpendicularly bisected ($BD$).
But according to the problem statement, the perimeter calculation remains consistent as $AB = BC$ and $CD = DA$ due to the kite's properties.
