P not || to l but there exist a unique line through P
which is parallel to l.

(a) AB = 2DE (b) AB = DE

(c) AD = BE (d) None of these
Ans : (b) AB = DE
27. If a point A lies in between B and C , then
We have, AC = DC and CB = CE (a) BC = 1 AC (b) AC = 2 $ BC

equals, then wholes are equal. (c) AC = BC (d) AB + AC = BC
AC + CB = DC + CE Ans : (d) AB + AC = BC
AB = DE A lies in between B and C then BC coincides with
BA + AC
24. Priya and Pooja have the same amount of money. If
each gets <4000 more, how will their new amounts be
compared? BC = BA + AC
(a) Amount with Priya is less than that with Pooja
(b) Amount with Pooja is less than that with Priya Download All PDF files from www.rava.org.in.

(c) Both have same amount of money

28. In the give figure, we have +1 = +2, +3 = +4 . Then.
(d) None of these
Ans : (c) Both have same amount of money

Let < x be the money each of Priya and Pooja had.

Priya and Pooja will have amount < ^x + 4000h each
after adding < 4000.
According to Euclid’s second axiom, when equals are
added to equals, the wholes are equal.
So, Priya and Pooja again have equal amount of (a) +ABC = +DBC (b) +ABC ! +DBC
money. (c) +BAX = +BXC (d) none of these.
Ans : (a) +ABC = +DBC
25. In the given figure, if AB = BC and BX = BY , then
Here, +1 = +2 and +3 = +4 . By using Euclid’s
Axiom 2, if equals are added to equals, then the
wholes are equal.
+1 + +3 = +2 + +4
+ABC = +DBC

29. In the given figure, AC = XD, C is mid-point of AB

(a) AX = CY (b) AC = XY And D is mid-point of XY . Using an Euclid’s axiom,
we have
(c) AY = CX (d) none of these
Ans : (a) AX = CY

Given that, AB = BC and BX = BY

By using Euclid’s axiom 3, if equal are subtracted
from equals, then the remainders are equal.
We have, AB - BX = BC - BY
AX = CY

26. For every line l and for every point P (not on l ), there (a) AB = XY (b) AX = BC
does not exist a unique line through P (c) BY = AC (d) none of these
