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.

Reason (R): The ladder makes an angle of $60°$ with the ground.

Question

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.

Reason (R): The ladder makes an angle of

60°

with the ground.

Reason (R): The ladder makes an angle of $60°$ with the ground.

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Ladder $= \sqrt{6^2 + 8^2} = \sqrt{100} = 10$ m. Assertion (A) is true. $	an	heta = \frac{8}{6} = \frac{4}{3}$, which is not $	an 60° = \sqrt{3}$. Reason (R) is false.
