Solution

The correct option is D Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true, but reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A).

Two opposite angles of a parallelogram are (3𝑥−2)° and (50−𝑥)°.
According to the property of a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal.
Therefore, 3x - 2 = 50 - x
4x = 52
x = 13.
The angle of this parallelogram is (3𝑥−2)° = (3×13 - 2) = 37°.
Hence option a is correct.
