Answer» SOLUTION :(i) False : SINCE any number of lines can PASS through a point. (ii) False : This contradicts Postulate 1. (iii) True : By Euclid's 2nd Postulate. (iv) True : Superimposing the region of one CIRCLE on the other, we FIND them coinciding. So, their centres and boundaries coincide. Thus, their radii will coincide i.e., they are equal. (v) True : Euclid's 1st Axiom.
