Q.

Assertion(A):In Fig. ABC~AED.If BC=8cm, AB=6.5cm, AD=2.8cm and DE=4cm, then AC=5.6 cm

Reason (R): If in two triangles, angles of one triangle are proportional to the angles of the other triangle, then their corresponding sides are equal, and hence, the two triangles are similar.

1 Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.  
2 Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.  
3 A is true, but R is false.  
4 A is false, but R is true  

Ans.

(3)

Given,ABC~AED

We have: BC = 8 cm, AB = 6.5 cm, AD = 2.8 cm, DE = 4 cm.

Now,ABAE=BCED=ACAD(ABC~AED)

FromBCED=ACAD84=AC2.8

2×2.8=ACC=5.6 cm
