Detailed Solution

Given one of the four angles formed by two intersecting lines is a right angle.
Question Image AOC= 90 °   --- (i)
The measure of BOD  ,
AOC   and BOD   are vertically opposite angles.
AOC=BOD 90 °   Therefore,
BOD= 90 °   -----(ii)
The measure of BOC   is,
Since linear pair is supplementary, therefore, AOB= 180 °  .
AOC+BOC= 180 °   BOC= 180 ° AOC   BOC= 180 ° 90 °   From equation (i),
BOC= 90 °   ----- (iii)
The measure of AOD   is,
As we know that, BOC   and AOD   are vertically opposite angles.
BOC=AOD 90 °   Therefore, AOD= 90 °   ------(iv)
Hence, AOC= 90 ° ,BOD= 90 ° ,BOC= 90 °   and AOD= 90 °  .
Therefore, all the four angles are 90 °  .
Given statement is true.
Hence, option 1 is correct.
