Answer
Both A and R are true.
Explanation
Given,
One pair of opposite sides of a parallelogram is 15 cm each.
Height, h = 8 cm
Area of the parallelogram = 120 cm2
Area of the parallelogram = Base x height
= 15 x 8
= 120 cm2
∴ Assertion (A) is true.
As we know, area of parallelogram = Base x Corresponding height
∴ Reason (R) is true.
Hence, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true.
