Assertion (A): Length of the diagonal of a square field is 15215\sqrt{2} m. Cost of ploughing the field at ₹20 per m2 is ₹4,500.

Reason (R): Area of a Square=(Diagonal)24\text{Area of a Square} = \dfrac{(\text{Diagonal})^2}{4}

  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

Diagonal length = 15215\sqrt{2} m

For square :

Side = diagonal2\dfrac{\text{diagonal}}{\sqrt{2}}

⇒ Side = 1522\dfrac{15\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}

⇒ Side = 15 m.

Area = (side)2

= 152 = 225 m2.

Cost of ploughing = ₹20 per m2

Total cost = Area × Cost per m2

= 225 × 20 = ₹4,500.

∴ Assertion (A) is true.

By formula,

Area of a Square=(Diagonal)22\text{Area of a Square} = \dfrac{(\text{Diagonal})^2}{2}

∴ Reason (R) is false.

Assertion (A) is true, reason (R) is false.

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
