Assertion (A): In parallelogram ABCD, PD bisects ∠ADC and PC bisects angle DCB, then ∠DPC = 90°.
Reason (R): ∠PDC = x ∠ADC
∠PCD = x ∠BCD
∠PDC + ∠PCD = x (∠ADC + ∠BCD)

A is true, but R is false.
A is false, but R is true.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct reason for A.
Both A and R are true, and R is the incorrect reason for A.

Answer
We know that consecutive angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.
ABCD is a parallelogram.
∴ ∠ADC + ∠BCD = 180° …………………(1)
PD bisects ∠ADC.
⇒ ∠PDC = ……………(2)
PC bisects ∠BCD.
⇒ ∠PCD = ……………(3)
Adding equations (2) and (3), we get :
⇒ ∠PDC + ∠PCD = + (∠ADC + ∠BCD)
= x 180°
= 90°.
In ΔPCD, according to angle sum property,
⇒ ∠PDC + ∠PCD + ∠DPC = 180°
⇒ 90° + ∠DPC = 180°
⇒ ∠DPC = 180° - 90°
⇒ ∠DPC = 90°
∴ Both A and R are true, and R is the correct reason for A.
Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
