Question

In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R). Mark the correct choice as:

A: If ∆ABC and ∆PQR are congruent triangles, then they are also similar triangles.

R: All congruent triangles are similar but the similar triangles need not be congruent.

• A. Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.
• B. Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R) is not the correct explanation of assertion (A).
• C. Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.
• D. Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A).

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A).

Both The statements are correct and the reason is correct explanation of assertion, as the shape and size of the congruent figure are equal and it should be similar but in similar triangles, shape is the same but the size need not be the same.
