NCERT class 9 maths chapter 5 Introduction to Euclid’s Geometry
Question 1:Which of the following statements are true and which are false? Give reasons for your answers. (i) Only one line can pass through a single point. (ii) There are an infinite number of lines which pass through two distinct points. (iii) A terminated line can be produced indefinitely on both the sides. (iv) If two circles are equal, then their radii are equal. (v) In Fig. 5.9, if AB = PQ and PQ = XY, then AB = XY. Fig. 5.9

Question 3:Consider two ‘postulates’ given below: (i) Given any two distinct points A and B, there exists a third point C which is in between A and B. (ii) There exist at least three points that are not on the same line. Do these postulates contain any undefined terms? Are these postulates consistent? Do they follow from Euclid’s postulates? Explain.
