Answer
View full question & answer→Correct option: B.
Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.
(b)
We have, $\angle A=65^{\circ}$ and $\angle C=30^{\circ}$.
$\begin{array}{ll}\therefore & \angle A+\angle B+\angle C=180^{\circ} \Rightarrow 65^{\circ}+\angle B+\angle 30^{\circ}=180^{\circ} \Rightarrow \angle B=85^{\circ} \\
\text { Thus, } & \angle B>\angle A>\angle C \\
\Rightarrow & A C>B C>A B \quad \text { [In a triangle, side opposite to greater angle is greater] } \\
\Rightarrow & A C \text { is the longest side of } \triangle A B C\end{array}$
Thus, statement-1 is true.
Statement-2 is also true, but is not a correct explanation for statement-1. Hence, option (b) is correct.
