Statement-1 (A): In a $\triangle A B C$, if $\angle A=65^{\circ}$ and $\angle C=30^{\circ}$, then AC is the longest side of $\triangle A B C$.
Statement-2 (R) : Sum of the angles of a triangle is $180^{\circ}$.
  • A
    Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.
  • Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.
  • C
    Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is false.
  • D
    Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true.
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.

Statement-1 (A): It is possible to construct a triangle with lengths of its sides as 8 cm, 7 cm and 4 cm .
Statement-2 (R): The sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.
  • Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.
  • B
    Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.
  • C
    Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is false.
  • D
    Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true.
Answer
Correct option: A.
Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.
(a)
Statement-2 is true. If possible, let ABC be a triangle such that AB = 8 cm, BC = 7 cm and AC = 4 cm. We find that these lengths satisfy $A B+B C>A C, B C+C A>A B$ and $A C+A B>B C$. Hence, it is possible to construct a triangle with lengths of its sides as 8 cm, 7 cm, and 4 cm . So, statement-1 is true. Also, statement-2 is a correct explanation for statement- 1 .
Hence, option (a) is correct.

MCQ 31 Mark
Statement-1 (A): It is not possible to construct a triangle with lengths of its sides as 9 cm , 7 cm and 17 cm .
Statement-2 (R): The difference of any two sides of a triangles is less than the third side.
  • A
    Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.
  • Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.
  • C
    Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is false.
  • D
    Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true.
Answer
Correct option: B.
Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.
(b)
Statement-2 is true. If possible let ABC be a triangle such that AB = 9 cm, BC = 7 cm and AC = 17 cm. We find that $A B+B C \ngtr A C$. So, it is not possible to construct a triangle with lengths of its sides as 9 cm, 7 cm and 17 cm . Hence, statement -1 is true. Thus, both the statements are true but statement-2 is not a correct explanation for statement-1. Hence, option (b) is correct.

MCQ 41 Mark
Statement-1 (A): In a $\triangle A B C$, the bisectors of $\angle B$ and $\angle C$ meet a point $O$ and the bisectors of ext $\angle B$ and ext $\angle C$ meet a point $O^{\prime}$. If $\angle B O C=135^{\circ}$, then $\angle B O^{\prime} C=45^{\circ}$
Statement-2 (R): In a $\triangle A B C$, if the bisectors of $\angle B$ and $\angle C$ meet at a point $O$ and the bisectors of ext $\angle B$ and ext $\angle C$ meet at a point $O^{\prime}$. Then, $\angle B O C$ and $\angle B O^{\prime} C$ are supplementary.
  • Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.
  • B
    Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.
  • C
    Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is false.
  • D
    Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true.
Answer
Correct option: A.
Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.
(a)
Statement-2 is true. Using statement-2, we have,
$\angle B O C+\angle B O^{\prime} C=180^{\circ} \Rightarrow 135^{\circ}+\angle B O^{\prime}C=180^{\circ} \Rightarrow \angle B O^{\prime} C=45^{\circ}$
So, statement-1 is true and statement-2 is a correct explanation for statement-1.
Hence, option (a) is correct.

Answer
Correct option: A.
Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.
(a)
Statement-2 is the Exterior angle theorem. So, it is true.
Using statement-2, we obtain
$2 x-20^{\circ}+x+10^{\circ}=110^{\circ} \Rightarrow 3 x=120^{\circ} \Rightarrow x=40^{\circ}
$
So, statement- 1 is also true. Also, statement- 2 is a correct explanation for statement-1 . Hence, option (a) is correct.
