Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Must need to know the Laws of reflection to solve this question..

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

PQ || RS ⇒ BL || CM

[∵ BL || PQ and CM || RS]

Now, BL || CM and BC is a transversal.

∴ ∠LBC = ∠MCB …(1) [Alternate interior angles]

Since, angle of incidence = Angle of reflection

∠ABL = ∠LBC and ∠MCB = ∠MCD

⇒ ∠ABL = ∠MCD …(2) [By (1)]

Adding (1) and (2), we get

∠LBC + ∠ABL = ∠MCB + ∠MCD

⇒ ∠ABC = ∠BCD

i. e., a pair of alternate interior angles are equal.

∴ AB || CD.
