Assertion (A): From the information given in the figure, AP = 10 cm.

From the information given in the figure, AP = 10 cm. Assertion Reasoning, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Reason (R):

⇒ AP2 = AD2 + DP2
⇒ AP2 = 102 + 102
AP = 102cm10\sqrt{2}\text{cm}

  1. A is true, R is false.
  2. A is false, R is true.
  3. Both A and R are true.
  4. Both A and R are false.

Answer

A is false, R is true.

Explanation

PD = PC - DC

= 15 - 5

= 10 cm

PD = AD = 10 cm

In Δ APD, using Pythagoras Theorem,

AP2 = AD2 + PD2

= 102 + 102

= 100 + 100

= 200

⇒ AP = 200\sqrt{200}

⇒ AP = 10 2\sqrt{2} cm

According to Assertion, AP = 10 cm

Assertion (A) is false.

From the above calculation, AP = 102 cm10\sqrt{2}\text{ cm}

Reason (R) is true.

Hence, Assertion (A) is false, Reason (R) is true.
