Question 31.


If QP BC, what is the measure of QAB ?


If QP ∥ BC, What Is The Measure Of ∠QAB ?


  1.     33
  2.     y
  3.     x
  4.     x+y
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> y
:
B

Since AP and BC  are parallel and considering AB as the transversal, we have:


QAB=ABC=y   [alternate angles are equal]


Question 32.


AB and CD,  are straight lines. Which one of these lines is a transversal with respect to the other?


⟷AB and ⟷CD,  are Straight Lines. Which One Of These...


  1.     AB only
  2.     CD only
  3.     either of AB or CD
  4.     neither of AB nor CD
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> neither of AB nor CD
:
D

A transversal is a line which intersects two (or more) lines in two (or more) distinct points. However, in this case, either of the linesAB and CD,  intersect only in one point. Hence, neither of  AB and CD, can be a transversal.


Question 33.


Aruna drew 3 lines CD, KA, TP such that:
CD = KA
CD = TP
What is the relation between KA and TP?


  1.     KA > TP
  2.     TP + KA = 2 CD
  3.     TP = KA 
  4.     Data insufficient
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> TP + KA = 2 CD
:
B and C

Euclid's axiom states that - 'Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to one another'. Hence CD = KA = TP.
Therefore,
KA + TP = CD + CD = 2 CD


Question 34.


Identify Playfair's  postulate from the following :


  1.     If a transversal cuts two distinct straight lines in such a way that the sum of two interior angles on the same side of the transversal is equal to 180o, then the two lines are parallel to each other.
  2.     If a straight line meets two other lines, so as to make the two interior angles on one side of it together less than two right angles, the other straight lines will meet if produced on that side on which the angles are less than two right angles.
  3.     Given a line in a plane and a point outside the line in the same plane, there is a unique line passing through the given point and parallel to the given line.
  4.     If a transversal cuts two parallel lines, then the sum of two interior angles on the same side of the transversal is equal to 180°.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Given a line in a plane and a point outside the line in the same plane, there is a unique line passing through the given point and parallel to the given line.
:
C

 Playfair was a Scottish mathematician who's postulate is a simple equivalent version of the parallel postulate of Euclid. Playfair's postulate states that- ' Given a line in a plane and a point outside the line in the same plane, there is a unique line passing through the given point and parallel to the given line.'


Question 35.


All right angles are ___  .


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Given a line in a plane and a point outside the line in the same plane, there is a unique line passing through the given point and parallel to the given line.
:
Euclid in his book Elements gave 5 postulates. One of his postulates stated that:
'All right angles are congruent'.
Question 36.


Which of the following is not true about a straight line segment?


  1.      A straight line segment can be drawn joining any two points.
  2.      Any straight line segment can be extended indefinitely in a straight line.
  3.     Given any straight line segment, a circle can be drawn having the segment as diameter and any point as the centre.
  4.     A straight line segment is a one dimensional entity.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Given any straight line segment, a circle can be drawn having the segment as diameter and any point as the centre.
:
C

Given any straight line segment, a circle can be drawn having the segment as radius and one endpoint as the centre is the postulate given by Euclid.
A circle cannot be drawn for any given line segment as its diameter and any point on it as the centre.


Question 37.


How many theorems did Euclid give in his book - Elements?


  1.     5
  2.     7
  3.     465
  4.     1456
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 465
:
C

A theorem is a proposition that has been proved logically on the basis of previously established statements. In total, see the following table:
How Many Theorems Did Euclid Give in His Book - Elements?


Question 38.


Akash draws a straight line on a sheet of paper. Then he draws another line such that the distance between the two is the same throughout. Similarly, he draws one more line in the same manner. He names these line as l, m and n. Which of the following is correct?


  1.       l m
  2.      m n
  3.      l m n
  4.     l m only and m n
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. ->  l m n
:
C
Distance between a pair of any two parallel lines remains the same throughout.
If l m and m n then l m n.

Question 39.


In the figure given below identify interior angles.
In The Figure Given Below Identify Interior Angles.


  1.     3, 4, 5, 6.
  2.     1, 2, 8, 7.
  3.     3, 2, 5, 6.
  4.     1, 2, 3, 4.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 3, 4, 5, 6.
:
A

Interior angle can be defined as:
When two parallel lines are crossed by another line (which is called the transversal), the pairs of angles on opposite sides of the transversal  but inside the two lines are called interior angles.
So in the given question, the interior angles are 3, 4, 5, 6.


Question 40.


Which of the following option(s) is/are correct when a transversal intersects two parallel lines?


  1.     Corresponding angles are equal
  2.     Alternate angles are equal
  3.     Vertically opposite angles are equal
  4.     Complementary angles are equal
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Corresponding angles are equal
:
A, B, and C

Which Of The Following Option(s) Is/are Correct When a Tran... 


If two lines are parallel then:


Corresponding angles are equal i.e., a=e


Alternate interior angles are equal i.e., c=f


Alternate exterior angles are equal i.e., b=g


Vertically opposite angles are equal in case of intersecting lines.
