Statement-1 (Assertion): Diagonals of a rectangle are equal.
Statement-2 (Reason): Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
Answer:
Statement-2 (Reason): Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
Thus, Statement-2 is true.

A rectangle is a parallelogram with opposite sides equal and the measure of each angle is 90º.
Now, consider ABC and DCB.
BC = BC (Common side)
∠ABC = ∠DCB (Each 90º)
AB = DC (Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal)

(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) âStatement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true.
Statement-1 (Assertion): Diagonals of a rectangle are equal and perpendicular to each other.
Statement-2 (Reason): Diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other.
Answer:
Statement-2 (Reason): Diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other.
In rhombus ABCD, AC and BD intersect each other at E.
Thus, Statement-2 is true.
Consider âACD and âBCD
AC = BD (opposite sides of a rectangle are equal)
AB = CD (opposite sides of a rectangle are equal)
(By SAS congruency)
So, AD = BC
Hence diagonals are equal.
But we cannot prove that as adjacent sides of the rectangle are not equal.
So, diagonals of a rectangle are equal but not perpendicular to each other.
Thus, Statement-1 is false.
Hence, the correct answer is option (d).

Statement-1 (Assertion): The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
Statement-2 (Reason): If the diagonals of a parallelogram are equal and intersect at right angle, then it is a square.
Answer:
Statement-2 (Reason): If the diagonals of a parallelogram are equal and intersect at right angle, then it is a square.
Consider a parallelogram PQRS such that PR = SQ and ∠SOR = ∠QOR =∠QOP =∠SOP = 90º.
Since PR = SQ and diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
∴ PO = OR =OQ = OS .....(1)
In âPOQ and âROQ
