[ANSWERS]

Ans01. (a)

Ans02. (c)

Ans03. (b)

Ans04. (a)

Ans05. In fig
AB coin cider with AC –BC

So AC-BC=AB [things which coincide with one another are equal to one another]

Ans06. AC=BD [given]

Also BC=BC [Things which coincide with one another are equal to one another]
 AC-BC = BD-BC
AB=CD [If equals are subtracted from equal then remaining are equal]

Ans07. AB=CD [given]

Also BC=BC [things which coincide with one another are equal to one another]
 AB+BC=CD+BC [if equals are added to equal then sums are equal]

Ans08. For every line L and for every point p not lying on L, there exists a unique line m
passing through P and parallel to L.

Ans09.
 In fig point C is between A and B
AC+CB = AB [things which coincide with one another are equal to one another]
But AC=BC
 AC+AC=AB
2AC=AB
1
AC = AB
2

Ans10. using Euclid’s third postulate.

Draw circles with centre d at the points A
and B and radius equal to the length of the
segment AB cutting each other at C.

Now, AB=AC [radii of the same circle]

BC=AB [radii of the same circle]
 AC=BC

Ans11.

Given AB=PQ and PQ =XY

AB =XY [things which are equal to the same things are equal to one another]

Ans12. (i) Two lines in a plane are parallel if they are equidistant, distance should be
defined before the above definition.

(ii) Two lines are perpendicular to each other if they make a right angle. Angle
and right angle are two terms to be defined before the above definition.

Ans13. (i) False: An infinite number of lines can pass through a single point.
(ii) False: There is a unique line joining two distinct points.

(iii) True: Now a days a terminated line is called a line segment but Euclid
called it a terminated line. So a line segment can be produced
indefinitely on both sides and line segment AB when produced on both
sides becomes line AB.

(iv) True: In equal circles, when the region bounded by one circle is
superimposed on the other then the circles coincide i.e. their centre and
boundaries coincide. As such their radii are equal.

(v) True: By Euclid’s axiom, things which are equal to the same things are
equal to one another.
