#### Question 1:

In fig. 10.32, points are given in two rows. Join the points AM, HE, TO, RUN, IF. How many liens segments are formed? If we join the points AM, HE, TO, RUN, IF,  6 line segments can be formed. These six line segments are AM, HE, TO, RU, UN and IF.

#### Question 2:

In Fig. 10.33, name:

(i) Five line segments.
(ii) Five rays.
(iii) Non-intersecting line segments. (i) Five line segments are PQ, RS, PR, QS and AP.

(ii) Five rays are $\underset{\mathrm{QC},}{\to }\underset{\mathrm{SD},}{\to }\underset{\mathrm{PA},}{\to }\underset{\mathrm{RB}}{\to }$ and $\underset{\mathrm{RA}}{\to }$.

(iii) Non-intersecting line segments are PR and QS.

#### Question 3:

In each of the following cases, state whether you can draw line segments on the given surfaces:

(i) The face of a cuboid.
(ii) The surface of an egg or apple.
(iii) The curved surface of a cylinder.
(iv) The curved surface of a cone.
(v) The base of a cone.

(i) Yes, we can draw line segments on the face of a cuboid.

(ii) No, we cannot draw a line segment on the surface of an egg or apple.

(iii) Yes, we can draw line segments on the curved surface of a cylinder.
Every line segment parallel to the axis of a cylinder on the curved surface will be a line segment.

(iv) Yes, we can draw line segments on the curved surface of a cone.
Every line segment joining the vertex of a cone and any point on the circumference of the cone will be a line segment.

(v) Yes, we can draw line segments on the base of a cone.

#### Question 4:

Mark the following points on a sheet of a paper. Tell how many line segments can be obtained in each case:

(i) Two points A, B.
(ii) Three non-collinear points A, B, C.
(iii) Four points such that no three of them boelong to the same line.
(iv) Any five points so that no three of them are collinear.

If there are n points in a plane and no three of them are collinear, the number of line segments obtained by joining these points is equal to $\frac{n\left(n-1\right)}{2}$.
On applying the above formula, we get:

(i) For two points A and B:
Number of line segments = $\frac{2\left(2-1\right)}{2}=1$

(ii) For three non-collinear points A, B and C:

Number of line segments = $\frac{3\left(3-1\right)}{2}=\frac{3×2}{2}=3$

(iii) For four points such that no three of them belong to the same line:

Number of line segments = $\frac{4\left(4-1\right)}{2}=\frac{4×3}{2}=6$

(iv) For any five points so that no three of them are collinear:

Number of line segments = $\frac{5\left(5-1\right)}{2}=\frac{5×4}{2}=10$

#### Question 5:

Count the number of line segments in Fig. 10.34 Line segments in the given figure are AB, AC, AD, AE, BC, BD, BE, CD, CE and DE.
Thus, there are 10 line segments.

Name of all rays with initial point as B : and
Name of all rays with initial point as C : and $\underset{\mathrm{CQ}}{\to }$

(i) No, because the origin point of both the rays $\underset{AB}{\to }$ and $\underset{AC}{\to }$ is same.
(ii) Yes, because the origin point of both the rays $\underset{BA}{\to }$ and $\underset{CA}{\to }$ is different.

Yes, it is possible if the three points lie on a straight line. #### Question 12:

The length of a line is infinite. Thus, it is not possible to find its mid-point.
On the other hand, we can find the mid-point of a line segment.

#### Question 13:

There  are three non-collinear points A, B and C.

Coplanar points are the points that are in the same plane. Thus,

(i) Can 150 points be coplanar?
(ii) Can 3 points be non-coplanar?

(i) Yes
A group of points that lie in the same plane are called coplanar points.
Thus, it is possible that 150 points can be coplanar.

(ii) No
3 points will be coplanar because we can have a plane that can contain all 3 points on it.
Thus, it is not possible that 3 points will be non-coplanar.

#### Question 16:

Lines p, q are coplanar. So are the lines p, r. Can we conclude that the lines p, q, r are coplanar?

No p, q and r are not necessarily coplanar .
e.g.:-If we take p as intersecting line of two consecutive walls of a room , q as a line on the first wall and r on the second wall whose(both walls) intersection is line p .
Then we can see that p , q and r are not coplanar.

With the help of a figure, find the maximum and minimum number of points of intersection of four lines in a plane.

Maximum number of points of intersection of four lines in a plane will be six. Minimum number of points of intersection of four lines in a plane will be zero. #### Question 23:

Lines p, q and r are concurrent. Also, lines p, r and s are concurrent. Draw a figure and state whether lines p, q, r and s are concurrent or not.

We have: Thus, lines p, q and r intersect at a common point O.
Also, lines p, r and s are concurrent.
Therefore, lines p, r and s intersect at a common point. But  q and r intersect each other at O.
So, s, q and r intersect at O.
Hence, p, q, r and s are concurrent. Lines p, q, r and s intersect at O. #### Question 24:

Lines p, q and r are concurrent. Also lines p, s and t are concurrent. Is it always true that the lines q, r and s will be concurrent? Is it always true for lines q, r and t?

Lines p, q, and r are concurrent. So, lines p, q and r intersect at a common point O. Given lines p, s and t are concurrent. So, lines p, s and t also intersect at a common point.
However, it is not always true that q, r and s or q, r and t are concurrent. #### Question 25:
