Questions number 19 and 20 are Assertion and Reason based questions. Two
statements are given, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as

the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).

(C) Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.

(D) Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

19. Assertion (A) : If two tangents are drawn to a circle from an external
point, then they subtend equal angles at the centre of the
circle.

Reason (R): A parallelogram circumscribing a circle is a rhombus.

20. Assertion (A) : A ladder leaning against a wall, stands at a horizontal

distance of 6 m from the wall. If the height of the wall up
to which the ladder reaches is 8 m, then the length of the
ladder is 10 m.
