ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral, BD and AC are its diameters. Also, ∠DBC = 50°.

ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral, BD and AC are its diameters. Also, ∠DBC = 50°. Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 10.

Assertion (A) : ∠BAC = 40°.

Reason (R) : ∠BAC = ∠BDC = 180° - (50° + 90°) = 40°.

  1. A is true, R is false.

  2. A is false, R is true.

  3. Both A and R are true and R is correct reason for A.

  4. Both A and R are true and R is incorrect reason for A.

Answer

Since BD and AC are diameters, that means:

∠ABC and ∠BCD are right angles (Angles in a semicircle is a right angle)

In △ DBC, using angle sum property,

⇒ ∠DBC + ∠BCD + ∠BDC = 180°

⇒ 50° + 90° + ∠BDC = 180°

⇒ 140° + ∠BDC = 180°

⇒ ∠BDC = 180° - 140°

⇒ ∠BDC = 40°

We know that, angles in the same segment of a circle are equal.

⇒ ∠BAC = ∠BDC

⇒ ∠BAC = 40°

So, assertion and reason are true and reason clearly explains assertion.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
