Assertion (A): When each side of a square is increased by 5 cm, its area increases by 75 sq. cm. The side of the square is 5 cm.
Reason (R):

⇒ (x+5)2 = x2 + 75 ⇒ x = 5cm
- A is true, R is false.
- A is false, R is true.
- Both A and R are true.
- Both A and R are false.

Answer
Both A and R are true.
Explanation
Let x be the side of square.
Area of square = x2
Side of square is increased by 5 cm, new side = x + 5
New area = x2 + 75 sq. cm
⇒ (x + 5)2 = x2 + 75
⇒ x2 + 52 + 2 x 5 = x2 + 75
⇒ x2 + 25 + 10x = x2 + 75
⇒ 25 + 10x - 75 = 0
⇒ 10x - 50 = 0
⇒ 10x = 50
⇒ x =
⇒ x = 5
∴ Assertion (A) is true.
From the above calculations,
x = 5cm
∴ Reason (R) is true.
Hence, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true.
