Assertion (A): PQR is an equilateral triangle. The co-ordinates of point Q are (0, ).

Reason (R): In ΔOPQ,
OQ2 = PQ2 - OP2 = 42 - 22 = 12.
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.

Answer
The coordinates of R(0, 2) and P(0, -2).
Using distance formula,
Distance between two points =
PR = units.
Given equilateral triangle PQR.
∴ PQ = QR = PR = 4 units.
In an equilateral triangle, a perpendicular drawn from one of the vertices to the opposite side bisects the side.
∴ OP = x PR = x 4 = 2 units.
In right angle triangle OPQ,
By pythagoras theorem,
⇒ QP2 = OP2 + OQ2
⇒ OQ2 = QP2 - OP2
⇒ OQ2 = 42 - 22
⇒ OQ2 = 16 - 4
⇒ OQ2 = 12
⇒ OQ =
⇒ OQ =
Since, OQ = units and Q lies on x-axis.
Co-ordinates of Q = (, 0).
∴ A is false, but R is true.
Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
