Assertion (A): Using the information in the given figure; we get BD = CE.

Using the information in the given figure; we get BD = CE. Assertion Reasoning, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Reason (R):

∵ △BDC ≅ △CEB (By AAS or ASA)
BD = CE

  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

Both A and R are true.

Explanation

In Δ BDC and Δ CEB,

∠ BDC = ∠ CEB (both are right angle)

∠ DBC = ∠ ECB (∠ ABC = ∠ ACB ⇒ 12\dfrac{1}{2}∠ ABC = 12\dfrac{1}{2} ∠ ACB ⇒ ∠ DBC = ∠ ECB)

BC = BC (Common angles)

So, using the ASA Congruency criterion,

Δ BDC ≅ Δ CEB

Hence, their corresponding sides are equal i.e, BD = CE.

Assertion (A) is true.

As proved in the assertion, BD = CE.

Reason (R) is true.

Hence, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true.
