Assertion (A): In a right angled triangle, the longest side is called hypotenuse and the other two sides are called its legs. Also, the sum of lengths of legs is less than the length of the hypotenuse.

Reason (R): In a right angled triangle, the side opposite to the right angle is called its hypotenuse.

  1. A is true, R is false

  2. A is false, R is true

  3. Both A and R are true

  4. Both A and R are false.

Answer

In a right angled triangle, the longest side is called hypotenuse and the other two sides are called its legs. Also, the sum of any two sides is always greater than the third side.

∴ Assertion (A) is false.

In a right angled triangle, the side opposite to the right angle is called its hypotenuse.

∴ Reason (R) is true.

Hence, Option 2 is the correct option.
