    Directions: Each of these questions contains two statements:
    Assertion [A] and Reason [R]. Each of these questions also has four alternative choices, any one of which is the correct answer. You have to select one of the codes [a], [b], [c] and [d] given below.
    Assertion [A] \[\Delta ABC\] is an isosceles, right triangle, right angled at C. Then, \[A{{B}^{2}}=2A{{C}^{2}}\].
    Reason [R] In a right angled triangle, the cube of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
     

    A) A is true, R is true; R is a correct explanation for A.

    B) A is true, R is true; R is not a correct explanation for A.

    C) A is true; R is False.

    D) A is false; R is true.

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    In right angled \[\Delta ABC\],
                \[A{{B}^{2}}=\text{ }A{{C}^{2}}+B{{C}^{2}}\]
                            [by Pythagoras theorem]
                \[=A{{C}^{2}}+A{{C}^{2}}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\left[ \because \,\,BC=AC \right]\]
                \[=2A{{C}^{2}}\]
     \[\therefore A{{B}^{2}}=2A{{C}^{2}}\]
     Hence, Statement I is true and Statement II is false.
