    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 The distance between the points \[\left( 10\,\cos \,30{}^\circ ,\,0 \right)\] and \[\left( 0,\,10\,\cos \,60{}^\circ  \right)\]is 10 units
    Reason Mid-point of line segment joining (a, b) and (c, d) is given by
    \[\left( \frac{a-c}{2},\,\frac{b-d}{2} \right)\].

    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 :

    Here, \[{{x}_{1}}=10\,\cos 30{}^\circ\]\[{{y}_{1}}=0\] and \[{{y}_{1}}=0\],
    \[x{{y}_{2}}=10\,\cos \,60{}^\circ\]
    \[\therefore\] Distance between the points
    \[=\sqrt{{{\left( 0-10\,\cos \,30{}^\circ  \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( 10\,\cos \,60\,{}^\circ -0 \right)}^{2}}}\]
    \[=\sqrt{{{\left( -10\times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( 10\times \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{2}}}\]
                \[\left[ \because \,\,\,\cos \,30{}^\circ =\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\,and\,\cos \,60{}^\circ =\frac{1}{2} \right]\]
    \[=\sqrt{\frac{300}{4}+\frac{100}{4}}\]
    \[=\sqrt{\frac{400}{4}}=\sqrt{100}=10\] units
    Hence, Assertion is true but Reason is false as the mid-point is \[\left( \frac{a+c}{2},\frac{b+d}{2} \right).\]
