The correct option is B If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
In ΔADC, Q is the mid-point of AC such that PQAD
P is the mid-point of DC
DP = PC [using converse of mid-point theorem]

Assertion is true, reason is true but reason is not correct explanation of assertion.
