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 line can be produced indefinitely on both sides.

(iv) If two circles are equal, then their radii are equal.

(v) if AB=PQ and PQ=XY, then AB=XY.

A (i),(ii) - True

  (iii),(iv),(v)-False

B(i),(ii),(iii) -True

  (iv),(v)-False

C   (i),(ii) -False

     (iii),(iv),(v)-True

D  (i),(ii),(iii) -False

    (iv),(v)-True

Answer:

The  correct option is  C

Step-by-step explanation:

    i is false because several lines can pass through a single point

    ii is false because only one line can pass through two distinct points

    iii is true because you can extend a line from both points (start and  end points )

      iv is true because when two equal circle are placed together and radius is trace we will discover that they are equal

       v is true because from Euclid's First Axiom , if a=  c and c =  d  the  a =  d
