ASSERTION AND REASONING QUESTIONS

DIRECTION: In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a

statement of reason (R). Mark the correct choice as:
(a)Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation
of assertion (A).
(b)Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R) is not the correct
explanation of assertion (A).
(c) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.
(d)Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.

9. Assertion (A): A square has a rotational symmetry of order 4 about its centre.
Reason(R): The angle of rotation is 90°
10. Assertion (A): A scalene triangle doesn’t have any line of symmetry.
Reason(R): A circle has infinite lines of symmetry.
11. Assertion (A): If, after a rotation, an object looks exactly the same, we say that it has a
rotational symmetry.
Reason(R): In a complete turn, the number of times an object looks exactly the same is called
the order of rotational symmetry.
