Answer
In △ABC,
∠BCA = 90° [Angle in the semicircle]
Since ABCD is cyclic quadrilateral the sum of opposite angles is 180°,
∠ADC + ∠ABC = 180°
∠ABC = 180° - 130°
∠ABC = 50°
In triangle ABC,
∠ABC + ∠BAC + ∠ACB = 180°
∠BAC = 180° - (∠ABC + ∠ACB)
∠BAC = 180° - (50° + 90°)
∠BAC = 40°.
So, assertion (A) is false.
We know that,
Sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is always 180°. But the sum of two angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is not always 180°.
So, reason (R) is false.
A is false, R is false.
Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
