Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion. Explanation: • The assertion is correct because s2 q → p is the converse of s1 p → q. • Reason is not an adequate explanation for the Assertion because, while a triangle is a three-sided polygon, not all three-sided polygons in non-Euclidean geometries must be triangles.
