A

Both Statement -I and Statement -II are true.

B

Both Statement -I and Staement -II are false.

C

Statement -I is true but Statement -II is false.

D

Statement -I is false but Statement -II is true.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze both statements provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Statement I**: - The statement says, "The line segment joining a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of its opposite side is called the median of the triangle." - This is a well-known definition in geometry. The median of a triangle is indeed the line segment that connects a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. - **Conclusion**: Statement I is **True**. 2. **Analyze Statement II**: - The statement says, "If the exterior angle of a triangle is a right angle, then each opposite interior angle is an obtuse angle." - An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles. If the exterior angle is 90 degrees, we can denote the two opposite interior angles as \( a \) and \( b \). - According to the property of exterior angles: \[ \text{Exterior Angle} = a + b \] Thus, if the exterior angle is 90 degrees: \[ a + b = 90^\circ \] - Since both \( a \) and \( b \) must be less than 90 degrees (as they add up to 90), they cannot be obtuse (which is defined as greater than 90 degrees). - **Conclusion**: Statement II is **False**. 3. **Final Conclusion**: - Since Statement I is True and Statement II is False, the correct option is: - **Option C**: Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
