Answer
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Explanation
From the figure,
Consider, l || m and AD is the transversal:
∠ADC = ∠A [alternate interior angles]
∴ ∠ADC = 40°
Now, consider AD || BC and m is a transversal:
∠ADC + ∠BCD = 180° [Co-interior angles]
⇒ 40° + ∠BCD = 180°
⇒ ∠BCD = 180° - 40°
⇒ ∠BCD = 140°
The Assertion is true.
The reason states that if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal:
Corresponding angles are equal.
Co-interior angles are supplementary (180°).
These are fundamental properties of parallel lines.
The Reason is true and it is the correct explanation for how we calculated the value in the Assertion.
Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
