Assertion (A): In the figure, two congruent circles have centres O and O′.
Arc AXB subtends an angle of 60° at the centre O and arc AYB′ subtends an angle of 20° at the centre O′.
Then the ratio of arcs AXB and AY′B′ is 3 : 1.
Reason (R): Congruent arcs of a circle subtend equal angles at the centre.
A is true, R is false.
A is false, R is true.

Answer
Given, two circles are congruent.
For congruent circles,
Length of an arc is proportional to angle subtended at the centre.
∴ Assertion (A) is true.
Congruent arcs of a circle subtend equal angles at the centre because the length of an arc is directly proportional to the angle subtended by it at the centre.
∴ Reason (R) is true.
Hence, Option 3 is the correct option.
