(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 a ∆ ABC, if the bisectors of angles ∠B and ∠C meet at a point O, then ∠BOC is always an obtuse angle.
Statement-2 (Reason): In a ∆ABC, if the bisectors of angles ∠B and ∠C meet at a point O, then ∠BOC = 90º+A2.
 

Answer:

Statement-2 (Reason): In a ∆ABC, if the bisectors of angles ∠B and ∠C meet at a point O, then ∠BOC = 90º+A2.
Given that, In an ∆ABC, bisectors of angles ∠B and ∠C meet at a point O.

In ∆ BOC, we have
1+2+BOC=180°     .....1

Also, ∆ ABC
A+B+C=180°A+21+22=180°       B=21 and C=22A2+1+2=90°           Divide whole equation by 21+2=90°-A2            .....2

From (1) and (2), we have
90°-A2+BOC=180°BOC=90°+A2

Thus, Statement-2 is true.

Statement-1 (Assertion): In a ∆ ABC, if the bisectors of angles ∠B and ∠C meet at a point O, then ∠BOC is always an obtuse angle.

According to Statement-2: In a ∆ABC, if the bisectors of angles ∠B and ∠C meet at a point O, then ∠BOC = 90º+A2.
⇒ ∠BOC is greater than 90∘.
⇒ ∠BOC is always an obtuse angle.

Statement-2 (Reason): In a ∆ABC, sides AB and AC are produced to P and Q respectively. If the bisectors of ∠PBC and ∠QCB intersect at O, then BOC=90ºA2.

Answer:

Statement-2 (Reason): In a ∆ABC, sides AB and AC are produced to P and Q respectively. If the bisectors of ∠PBC and ∠QCB intersect at O, then BOC=90ºA2.
Given that, in a ∆ABC, sides AB and AC are produced to P and Q respectively. The bisectors of ∠PBC and ∠QCB intersect at O.
∴ 2=12QCB and 1=12CBP           .....(1)

Since ABC and CBP forms a linear pair.
 ABC+CBP=180°B+21=180°              From121=180°-B1=90°-B2                  .....2

Again, ACB and QCB form a linear pair.
 ACB+QCB=180°C+22=180°              From 122=180°-C2=90°-C2               .....3

In ∆ABC, by Angle Sum Property of Triangle
A+B+C=180°B+C=180°-A             .....4

In ∆BOC, we have
1+2+BOC=180°90°-12B+90°-12C+BOC=180°                From 2 and 3180°-12B+C+BOC=180°BOC=12B+CBOC=12180°-A                                                From 4                         BOC=90°-A2
Thus, Statement-2 is true.

Statement-1 (Assertion): In a ∆ABC, sides AB and AC are produced to P and Q respectively. If the bisectors of ∠PBC and ∠QCB intersect at O, then ∠BOC is an acute angle.

According to Statement-2: In a ∆ABC, sides AB and AC are produced to P and Q respectively. If the bisectors of ∠PBC and ∠QCB intersect at O, then BOC=90ºA2.
⇒ ∠BOC is less than 90∘.
⇒ ∠BOC is always an acute angle.

Answer:


Statement-2 (Reason): The angle between the internal bisector of one base angle and the external bisector of the other angle of a triangle is equal to one-half of the vertical angle.

Using the Exterior Angle Theorem in ABC, we have
ext.ACD=A+B12ext.ACD=12A+12BECD=12A+EBC   .....1    BE and CE are bisectors of B and ACD

Using the Exterior Angle Theorem in BCE, we obtain
ECD=EBC+E                   .....(2)

From (1) and (2), we get
12A+EBC=EBC+EE=12A
Thus, Statement-2 is true.

Statement-1 (Assertion): In the given figure, side BC of ∆ABC, is produced to a point D such that the bisectors of ∠ABC and ∠ACD meet at a point E. If ∠BAC = 80º, then ∠BEC = 50º.

Given that, ∠BAC = 80º.

According to Statement-2: The angle between the internal bisector of one base angle and the external bisector of the other angle of a triangle is equal to one-half of the vertical angle.
E=12AE=12×80°E=40°BEC=40°

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 CP ∥ BQ, then ∠ACP = 140º.

Statement-2 (Reason): If two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then the corresponding angles are equal.

Answer:

Disclaimer: In figure ∠OAC = 60º.

Statement-2 (Reason): If two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then the corresponding angles are equal.
Thus, Statement-2 is True.

Statement-1 (Assertion): In the given Figure, if CP ∥ BQ, then ∠ACP = 140º.

Given that, CP ∥ BQ
QBO=AOC=110°       Corresponding angles
Now,
ACP=AOC+OAC        Exterier angle property=110°+60°=170°

Thus, Statement-1 is false.
So, ​Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true.

Hence, the correct answer is option (d).
