Assertion (A): If PQ = PR, ΔPQS ≅ ΔPRT

Assertion: If PQ = PR, ΔPQS ≅ ΔPRT, Reason: PQ = PR, ∠P = ∠P and ∠Q = ∠R. Triangles, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Reason (R): PQ = PR, ∠P = ∠P and ∠Q = ∠R

  1. A is true, but R is false.

  2. A is false, but R is true.

  3. Both A and R are true and R is the correct reason for A.

  4. Both A and R are true and R is the incorrect reason for A.

Answer

In ΔPQS and ΔPRT,

⇒ ∠QPS = ∠RPT (Common)

⇒ ∠PQS = ∠PRT (Given)

⇒ PQ = PR (Given)

∴ ΔPQS ≅ ΔPRT (By ASA congruency criterion)

∴ Both A and R are true, and R is the correct reason for A.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
