Answer
Given, angle ABC = 120° and length of its each side = 20 cm.
As we know that, each diagonal divides the angles at its endpoints into two equal parts.
The diagonal BD bisects ∠ABC and ∠ADC.
⇒ ∠ABD = ∠CBD = = 60°
By formula,
cos θ =
We know that,
Diagonals of rhombus are perpendicular to each other.
Thus, triangle AOB is a right angle triangle.
In ΔAOB,
Since, diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other.
⇒ BD = 2 x OB
So, reason (R) is true.
⇒ BD = 2 x 10 cm = 20 cm
So, assertion (A) is true.
∴ Both A and R are true, and R is the correct reason for A.
Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
