Answer
Given, sides of a triangle are 9 cm, 12 cm and 15 cm.
A scalene triangle is a triangle in which all three sides have different lengths.
The given side lengths are 9 cm, 12 cm, and 15 cm. All these lengths are distinct.
Therefore, it is a scalene triangle.
If the square of the longest side equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then it's a right-angled triangle.
The longest side is 15 cm.
Let's check: 152 = 92 + 122
⇒ 225 = 81 + 144
⇒ 225 = 225
Since the equality holds, the triangle is a right-angled triangle.
∴ Assertion (A) is true.
By formula,
Area of a right triangle = x base x height.
∴ Reason (R) is true.
∴ Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct reason (or explanation) for Assertion (A).
Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
