Answer

From figure,

∠CBE and ∠CBA forms a linear pair.

⇒ ∠CBE + ∠CBA = 180°

⇒ 108° + ∠CBA = 180°

⇒ ∠CBA = 180° - 108°

⇒ ∠CBA = 72°

ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral, opposite angles are supplementary.

So, reason (R) is true.

⇒ ∠CBA + ∠ADC = 180°

⇒ 72° + ∠ADC = 180°

⇒ ∠ADC = 180° - 72°

⇒ ∠ADC = 108°.

So, assertion (A) is true.

Thus, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct, and Reason (R) is the correct reason for Assertion (A).

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
