Sum of angles in $\triangle ABC$:
$\angle A + \angle B + \angle C = 180^\circ$
Substituting given values:
$65^\circ + \angle B + 55^\circ = 180^\circ$
$\angle B = 180^\circ - 120^\circ = 60^\circ$
Since $\triangle ABC \sim \triangle PQR$, their corresponding angles are equal:
$\angle A = \angle P = 65^\circ$,
$\angle B = \angle Q = 60^\circ$,
$\angle C = \angle R = 55^\circ$.
Thus, Assertion (A) is true.
Reason (R) states that the sum of angles in a triangle is $180^\circ$, which is a true mathematical fact.
$\angle A + \angle B + \angle C = 180^\circ$
Substituting given values:
$65^\circ + \angle B + 55^\circ = 180^\circ$
$\angle B = 180^\circ - 120^\circ = 60^\circ$
Since $\triangle ABC \sim \triangle PQR$, their corresponding angles are equal:
$\angle A = \angle P = 65^\circ$,
$\angle B = \angle Q = 60^\circ$,
$\angle C = \angle R = 55^\circ$.
Thus, Assertion (A) is true.
Reason (R) states that the sum of angles in a triangle is $180^\circ$, which is a true mathematical fact.
However, it is not specifically explaining why $\triangle ABC \sim \triangle PQR$.
(B) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation for Assertion (A).
(B) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation for Assertion (A).
