Assertion (A): In parallelogram ABCD, PD bisects ∠ADC and PC bisects angle DCB, then ∠DPC = 90°.

Reason (R): ∠PDC = 12\dfrac{1}{2} x ∠ADC

∠PCD = 12\dfrac{1}{2} x ∠BCD

∠PDC + ∠PCD = 12\dfrac{1}{2} x (∠ADC + ∠BCD)

In parallelogram ABCD, PD bisects ∠ADC and PC bisects angle DCB, then ∠DPC = 90°. Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Answer

We know that consecutive angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.

ABCD is a parallelogram.

∴ ∠ADC + ∠BCD = 180° …………………(1)

PD bisects ∠ADC.

⇒ ∠PDC = ADC2\dfrac{∠ADC}{2} ……………(2)

PC bisects ∠BCD.

⇒ ∠PCD = BCD2\dfrac{∠BCD}{2} ……………(3)

Adding equations (2) and (3), we get :

⇒ ∠PDC + ∠PCD = ADC2\dfrac{∠ADC}{2} + BCD2=12\dfrac{∠BCD}{2} = \dfrac{1}{2} (∠ADC + ∠BCD)

= 12\dfrac{1}{2} 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.
