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

Assertion (A) : ∠BAC = 40°.
Reason (R) : ∠BAC = ∠BDC = 180° - (50° + 90°) = 40°.
A is true, R is false.
A is false, R is true.

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.

In the given circle, ∠BAD = 95°, ∠ABD = 40° and ∠BDC = 45°.
Assertion (A) : To show that AC is a diameter, the angle ADC or angle ABC need to be proved to be 90°.
Reason (R) : In △ADB,
∠ADB = 180° - 95° - 40° = 45°
∴ Angle ADC = 45° + 45° = 90°
