The question consists of two statements, namely, Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Please select the correct answer.


Assertion (A)



Reason (R)



In a quadrilateral ABCD, we have (AB+BC+CD+DA)>2AC.




The sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.


Since, sum of two sides is greater than the third side

AB + BC > AC (i)


CD + DA > AC (ii)


Adding (i) and (ii),


AB + BC +CD +DA > 2AC


Hence, the assertion is true and also the reason gives the right explanation of the assertion.


Option A is correct
