  • b)
    Statement-I is false but Statement-II is true.
  • c)
    Both Statement-I and Statement-II are true.
  • d)
    Both Statement-I and Statement-II are false.
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Komal Patel answered
Explanation:

Statement-I:
- The statement is true. In a rhombus, the diagonals bisect each other at right angles. This property is unique to rhombuses.
- When the diagonals of a rhombus intersect, they form right angles at the point of intersection. This can be proven using the properties of rhombuses.

Statement-II:
- The statement is false. In a parallelogram, the diagonals are not necessarily equal in length.
- The diagonals of a parallelogram only bisect each other, meaning they divide each other into two equal parts. However, their lengths may not be the same.
- This property of parallelograms can be easily demonstrated through the construction of various parallelograms.
Therefore, option 'A' is correct as Statement-I is true, but Statement-II is false.

Read the given statements carefully and state ‘T’ for true and ‘F’ for false.
(i) The sum of the angles in any quadrilateral is 360 degrees.
(ii) A triangle can have more than one obtuse angle.
(iii) The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
  • a)
    (i)-T, (ii)-F, (iii)-T
  • b)
    (i)-F, (ii)-F, (iii)-T
  • c)
    (i)-T, (ii)-T, (iii)-F
  • d)
    (i)-T, (ii)-F, (iii)-F
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

EduRev Class 9 answered
(i) True: The sum of the angles in any quadrilateral is 360 degrees.
(ii) False: A triangle cannot have more than one obtuse angle because the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees, and having two obtuse angles would exceed this sum.
(iii) True: The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

Solve the following questions and select the correct option.
(i) If (x+2) and (x-3) are the factors of px3+2x2-5x+q, then find the value of (p+q).
  • a)
    1/8
  • b)
    -99/7
  • c)
    3/7
  • d)
    -4/27
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Imk Pathshala answered
(i) Given factors (x+2) and (x-3), substituting in the polynomial px3+2x2-5x+q, we get:
P(−2)3+2(−2)2−5(−2)+q=0
⇒−8p+8+10+q=0
⇒−8p+q+18=0
⇒q=8p−18
P(3)3+2(3)2−5(3)+q=0
⇒27p+18−15+q=0
⇒27p+q+3=0
⇒q=−27p−3
8p−18=−27p−3
⇒35p=15
⇒p=3/7
​⇒q=8x3/7​−18=24/7 - 18 = -102/7

(Incorrect, recheck for solving process)
(ii) 
(Simplify by checking root multiplier) xyz=27

EduRev Class 9 answered
First, let's calculate the interior angle of a regular octagon.
A regular polygon with n sides has an interior angle given by the formula:
For a regular octagon (n=8):
So, Statement-I is true.
Next, let's calculate the exterior angle of a regular octagon.
The exterior angle of a regular polygon is given by the formula:
So, Statement-II is also true.
Therefore, both Statement-I and Statement-II are true.
Hence, the correct option is:C
