Answer
It is given that AB = BC
⇒ ∠BAC = ∠BCA [Angles opposite to equal sides of the triangle are also equal]
⇒ ∠BAD = ∠BCE ………………(1)
In ΔBAD and ΔBCE,
⇒ AB = BC (Given)
⇒ AD = CE [Given]
⇒ ∠BAD = ∠BCE
∴ ΔBAD ≅ ΔBCE (By SAS congruency criterion)
By C.P.C.T.,
BE = BD
So, assertion (A) is false.
In ΔBAD and ΔBCE,
⇒ BD = BE (Proved above)
⇒ AB = BC (Given)
⇒ AD = EC (Given)
∴ ΔBAD ≅ ΔBCE (By SAS congruency criterion)
So, reason (R) is true.
Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
