Read the following two statements which are taken as axiom: (i) If two lines intersect each other , then the vertically opposite angles are not equal. (ii) If a ray stands on a line , then the sum of two adjacent angles, so formed is equal to `180^(@)`. Is this system of axioms consistent ? Justify your answer. |

Answer» We know that , if two lines intersect each other, then the vertically opposite angles are equal. It is a theorem , So given Statement I is false and not an axiom. We know that , if a ray stands on a line, then the sum of two adjacent angles so formed is equal to `180^(@)` . It is an axiom . So given Statement II is true and an axiom. Thus, in given statements first is fales and second is an axiom . Hence , given system of axioms is consistent. |
