Section B – Assertion & Reason (10 × 2 = 20 marks)
Directions: Choose (A) Both true, Reason correct explanation (B) Both true, Reason not
explanation (C) Assertion true, Reason false (D) Assertion false, Reason true
21. Assertion: The additive identity of integers is 0. Reason: Adding 0 to any integer does not
change its value.
22. Assertion: a^m × a^n = a^(m+n). Reason: Laws of exponents allow us to add powers when
bases are same.
23. Assertion: In an algebraic expression, like terms have same variable(s). Reason: Coefficients of
like terms must also be same.
24. Assertion: Vertically opposite angles are equal. Reason: They are formed when two lines
intersect.
25. Assertion: The sum of the three angles of a triangle is 180°. Reason: This is proved using the
property of parallel lines.
26. Assertion: An equilateral triangle has all angles 60°. Reason: In equilateral triangle, all sides
and all angles are equal.
27. Assertion: A circle has infinite lines of symmetry. Reason: Any line through its center divides it
into equal halves.
28. Assertion: A scalene triangle has all unequal sides. Reason: It also has no equal angles.
29. Assertion: Supplementary angles add up to 180°. Reason: Complementary angles add up to
180°.
30. Assertion: Exponent zero of any non-zero number is 1. Reason: a^m / a^m = a^(m-m) = a^0 =
1.
