Answer:

Statement-2 (Reason): If two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then each pair of consecutive interior angles are equal.

If two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then each pair of consecutive interior angles are supplementary.

Statement-1 (Assertion): In the given figure, AB || CD, ∠BAO = 60º and ∠OCD = 110º, then ∠AOC = 50º.

Construction: Extended line CD till point E such that DE || AB.



Given: AB || CD

According to Statement-2, if two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then each pair of consecutive interior angles are supplementary.

∠BAO + ∠AEC = 180°
⇒ 60° + ∠AEC = 180°
⇒ ∠AEC = 120°              .....(1)

Now, ∠AEC and ∠OEC are linear pair of angles.

∴ ∠OEC + ∠AEC = 180°
⇒ ∠OEC + 120°= 180°           [From (1)]
⇒ ∠OEC = 60°              .....(2)

Now, ∠OCD and ∠OCE are linear pair of angles.

Construction: Draw a line XY which is parallel to the lines PQ and RS passing through C.


Thus, XY || PQ || RS.

According to Statement-2, if two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then each pair of alternate angles are equal.

∴ ∠BCY = ∠CBR

⇒ ∠BCY = 50°                .....(1)

If two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then each pair of consecutive interior angles are supplementary.
            
∴ ∠CAQ + ∠ACY = 180°

⇒ 140° + ∠ACY = 180°

⇒ ∠ACY = 40°                .....(2)

Now, ∠ACB = ∠ACY + ∠BCY

⇒ ∠ACB = 40° + 50° = 90°                  [From (1) and (2)]

Thus, Statement-1 is true.

∠ABE + ∠BEX = 180º (Co-interior angles on the same side of transversal BE)

⇒ 130º + ∠BEX = 180º

⇒ ∠BEX = 50º                   .....(1)

Also,

∠ECD + ∠CEY = 180º (Co-interior angles on the same side of transversal SR)

⇒ 110º + ∠CEY = 180º

⇒ ∠CEY = 70º                   .....(2)

XY is a straight line. EB and EC stand on it.

∴ ∠BEX + ∠BEC + ∠CEY = 180º

⇒ 50º + ∠BEC + 70º = 180º             [From (1) and (2)]

⇒ ∠BEC = 180º − 120º = 60º

Thus, Statement-1 is true.
So, Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

Question 34:

Each of the following questions contains STATEMENT-1 (Assertion) and STATEMENT-2 (Reason) and has following four choices (a), (b), (c) and (d), only one of which is the correct answer. Mark the correct choice.
(a) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.
(b) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.
(c) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is false.
(d) ​Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true.
Statement-1 (Assertion): In the given figure, if ACB is a straight line, then ∠ACD = 72º.

Statement-2 (Reason): If a ray stands on a line, the sum of two adjacent angles formed is 180º.

Answer:

Statement-2 (Reason): If a ray stands on a line, the sum of two adjacent angles formed is 180º.

According to the Linear pair axiom, if a ray stands on a line, then the sum of the two adjacent angles so formed is 180° and vice-versa.

Thus, Statement-2 is true.
          
Statement-1 (Assertion): In the given figure, if ACB is a straight line, then ∠ACD = 72º.

Given: ACB is a straight line, DC is a ray stand on the line.

According to Statement-2, if a ray stands on a line, the sum of two adjacent angles formed is 180º. 

∴ ∠ACD + ∠BCD = 180°

⇒ 2x + 3x = 180°

x = 36°

∴ ∠ACD = 2x = 72°

Thus, Statement-1 is true.
So, Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.

Hence, the correct answer is option (a).

Question 35:

Each of the following questions contains STATEMENT-1 (Assertion) and STATEMENT-2 (Reason) and has following four choices (a), (b), (c) and (d), only one of which is the correct answer. Mark the correct choice.
(a) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.
(b) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.
(c) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is false.
(d) ​Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true.
Statement-1 (Assertion): In the given figure, lines AB and CD intersect at O. If ∠AOC = 40º, then ∠BOC = 140º.

Statement-2 (Reason): If two lines intersect, then vertically opposite angles are equal.

Answer:

Statement-2 (Reason): If two lines intersect, then vertically opposite angles are equal.

Thus, Statement-2 is true.

Statement-1 (Assertion): In the given figure, lines AB and CD intersect at O. If ∠AOC = 40º, then ∠BOC = 140º.

Given that, lines AB and CD intersect at O and ∠AOC = 40º.

∠AOC and ∠BOC are the angles on a straight line.

∴ ∠AOC + ∠BOC = 180°

⇒ 40° + ∠BOC = 180°

⇒ ∠BOC = 140°

Thus, Statement-1 is true.

So, Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).
