Answer
As we know that radius is half of the diameter.
Diameter = 2 x radius = 2 x 20 = 40 cm.
We know that,
Longest chord of a circle is equal to its diameter.
So, reason (R) is true.
Longest chord = 40 cm
So, assertion (A) is false.
∴ A is false, but R is true.
Hence, option 4 is the correct option.

Assertion (A) : When the radius of a circle is increased by 3 cm, its diameter will increase by 2 x 3 cm.
Reason (R) : Original radius is r cm, original diameter 2r cm
∴ Increase in length of diameter = 2(r + 3) cm - 2r
