Answer
The diagonals of a rectangle are equal in length and bisect eah other, but not necessarily at right angles.
∴ Assertion (A) is false.
A square is a special type of rectangle where all sides are equal, but a rectangle is not necessarily a square.
A rectangle only requires four right angles; it does not require all four sides to be equal.
Every square is a rectangle, but not every rectangle is a square.
∴ Reason (R) is false.
Both A and R are false.
Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
