The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states that in a cyclic quadrilateral, if one angle is \(40^\circ\), then the opposite angle is \(140^\circ\). - Let's denote the angles of the cyclic quadrilateral as \(A\), \(B\), \(C\), and \(D\). - According to the assertion, if \(A = 40^\circ\), we need to find the opposite angle \(C\). 2. **Using the Property of Cyclic Quadrilaterals**: - A key property of cyclic quadrilaterals is that the sum of opposite angles is \(180^\circ\). - This means that \(A + C = 180^\circ\) and \(B + D = 180^\circ\). 3. **Calculating the Opposite Angle**: - Since we know \(A = 40^\circ\), we can substitute this into the equation: \[ A + C = 180^\circ \] \[ 40^\circ + C = 180^\circ \] - To find \(C\), we subtract \(40^\circ\) from \(180^\circ\): \[ C = 180^\circ - 40^\circ = 140^\circ \] 4. **Conclusion about Assertion (A)**: - The assertion is true because we have shown that if one angle is \(40^\circ\), the opposite angle is indeed \(140^\circ\). 5. **Understanding the Reason (R)**: - The reason states that the sum of opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral is equal to \(360^\circ\). - This statement is incorrect. The correct property is that the sum of opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral is \(180^\circ\). 6. **Conclusion about Reason (R)**: - Since the reason is false, we conclude that while the assertion is true, the reason is false. ### Final Conclusion: - Assertion (A) is true. - Reason (R) is false.
