Question

Assertion (A): The tangents drawn at the end points of a diameter of a circle, are parallel.

Reason (R): Diameter of a circle is the longest chord.

Options

• Both, Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• Both, Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not correct explanation for Assertion (A).

• Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.

• Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true.

Answer 1

Both, Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not correct explanation for Assertion (A).

Explanation:

Assertion: Two parallel tangents always lie at the end points of the diameter of the circle.

Reason: Diameter is the longest chord of a circle, which passes through the center, joining the two points on the circumference of a circle.
