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

Reason (R):
∵ △BDC ≅ △CEB (By AAS or ASA)
BD = CE
- 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
In Δ BDC and Δ CEB,
∠ BDC = ∠ CEB (both are right angle)
∠ DBC = ∠ ECB (∠ ABC = ∠ ACB ⇒ ∠ ABC = ∠ 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.
