Part B: Objective Questions (1 Mark Each)
Choose the correct answer and write the option (a/b/c/d)
(1) Euclid's geometry is based on:
(a) Postulates only (b) Axioms only (c) Axioms and postulates (d) Definitions only
Correct! Euclidean geometry is built on both axioms and postulates.
(2) How many postulates did Euclid give?
(a) 4 (b) 5 (c) 6 (d) 7
Correct! Euclid gave exactly 5 postulates.
(3) Which of the following is Euclid's fifth postulate?
(a) A straight line segment can be drawn joining any two points.
(b) All right angles are equal to one another.
(c) If a straight line falling on two straight lines makes the interior angles on the same side less than two right angles, then the two straight lines will meet.
(d) A circle can be drawn with any centre and radius.
Correct! This is Euclid's famous fifth postulate about parallel lines.
(4) "Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to one another" is:
(a) An axiom (b) A postulate (c) A definition (d) A theorem
Correct! This is one of Euclid's fundamental axioms.
(5) A line has:
(a) Only length (b) Length and breadth (c) Only breadth (d) None
Correct! A line is 1-dimensional and has only length.
(6) Which of these is a correct example of Euclid's first postulate?
(a) Drawing a circle of radius 3 cm
(b) Drawing a line between two points
(c) Extending a line segment
(d) All right angles are equal
Correct! The first postulate states that a line can be drawn between any two points.
(7) The point of intersection of two distinct lines is:
(a) A segment (b) A plane (c) A point (d) None
Correct! Two distinct lines intersect at exactly one point.
(8) Euclid's second postulate states that:
(a) A line segment can be extended indefinitely in a straight line.
(b) A circle can be drawn with any centre and radius.
(c) All right angles are equal.
(d) Through a point not on a given line, only one line can be drawn parallel to the given line.
Correct! The second postulate is about extending line segments.
(9) If two lines are parallel, then they will:
(a) Meet at infinity (b) Never meet (c) Meet at one point (d) None
Correct! Parallel lines never meet, no matter how far extended.
(10) In Euclid's geometry, the undefined terms are:
(a) Point, line, plane
(b) Circle, triangle, square
(c) Parallel, perpendicular, intersecting
(d) Length, breadth, height
Correct! Point, line, and plane are the three fundamental undefined terms.
