    Directions: Each of these questions contains two statements: Assertion [A] and Reason [R]. Each of these questions also has four alternative choices, any one of which is the correct answer. You have to select one of the codes [a], [b], [c] and [d] given below.
    Assertion If the points A (4, 3) and B (x, 5) are on the circle with centre O (2, 3), then find the value of x is 2.
    Reason If three points (0, 0), \[\left( 3,\,\sqrt{3} \right)\]and \[\left( 3,\,\lambda  \right)\]form an equilateral triangle, then \[\lambda \] equals to \[\pm \sqrt{2}\].
     

    A) A is true, R is true; R is a correct explanation for A.

    B) A is true, R is true; R is not a correct explanation for A.

    C) A is true; R is False.

    D) A is false; R is true.

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Since, A and B lie on the circle having centre O.
    \[OA=OB\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\sqrt{{{\left( 4-2 \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( 3-3 \right)}^{2}}}\]
    \[=\sqrt{{{\left( x-2 \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( 5-3 \right)}^{2}}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,2=\sqrt{{{\left( x-2 \right)}^{2}}+4}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,4={{\left( x-2 \right)}^{2}}+4\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,{{\left( x-2 \right)}^{2}}=0\Rightarrow \,x=2\]
     Let the given points are A (0, 0), \[B\left( 3,\,\sqrt{3} \right)\]and \[C\left( 3,\,\lambda  \right)\]
     Since, \[\Delta ABC\]is an equilateral triangle, therefore \[AB=AC\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\sqrt{{{\left( 3-0 \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( \sqrt{3}-0 \right)}^{2}}}\]
    \[=\sqrt{{{\left( 3-0 \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( \lambda -0 \right)}^{2}}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,9+3=9+{{\lambda }^{2}}\,\Rightarrow {{\lambda }^{2}}=3\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\lambda =\pm \sqrt{3}\]
    Assertion is true but Reason is false.
