MCQ Assertion-and-Reason type :

Each question consists of two statements, namely, Assertion
(A) and Reason (R). For selecting the correct answer, use
the following code:
(a) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason
(R) is a correct explanation of Assertion (A).
(b) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason
(R) is not a correct explanation of Assertion (A).
(c) Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is false.
(d) Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is true.
Q.29
Assertion (A) - The area of the quadrant of a
circle having a circumference of 22 cm is
Reason (R) - The area of a sector of a circle of radius r with
central angle x is
The correct answer is : (a)

=
Assertion (A) is true
Reason (R) is true
Reason R is a correct explanantion of Assertion (A)
So, correct answer is (a)
Q.30
Assertion (A) - An arc of a circle of length
cm
bounds a sector whose area is
. Then, the radius of
the circle is 4 cm.
Reason (R) - A chord of a circle of radius 12 cm subtends
an angle of 60 at the centre of the circle. The area of the
minor segment of the circle is 13.08
(Given
and
).
The correct answer is : (a) / (b) / (c) / (d)
Sol.
Length of Arc =
Area of sector =
r=
cm
But given Radius is 4 cm. So Assertion (A) is false.
=
=
= 75.36 36 1.73
= 75.36 62.28
= 13.08
Reason (R) is true
Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is true.
So, correct answeer is (d)
Q.31
Assertion (A) - If the circumference of two circles

4/3/2016 6:33 PM
56 of 66
are in the ratio 2 : 3, then the ratio of their areas is 4 : 9.

Reason (R) - The circumference of a circle of radius r is
.
The correct answer is : (a) / (b) / (c) / (d)
Sol.
=
=
Assertion (A) is true
Reason (R) is true
Reason (R) is not a correct explanation of Assertion (A)
Therefore correct answer is (b).
