Statement 1: The given shape has two right angles.
Statement 2: The given shape has one pair of parallel sides.
Statement 3: The given shape is a triangle.
Statement 4: The given shape is a square.
(Note: There can be more than one correct answer.)

• A. Statements 1, 2, and 3 are correct.
  
• B. Statements 2 and 3 are correct.
  
• C. All the given statements are incorrect.
  
• D. Statements 1 and 2 are correct.
  

Answer 1

The correct option is D Statements 1 and 2 are correct.



We can observe that the given figure has 2 right angles (highlighted with black squares).
We know that parallel lines go in the same direction but never cross each other.
So, sides AB and CD of the given shape are parallel.
But sides AD and CB are not parallel.
So, the given shape has only one pair of parallel sides.
