Which of the following is a false statement?
  • A
    An infinity number of lines can be drawn to pass through a given point.
  • B
    A unique line can be drawn to pass through two given points.
  • $\text{Ray }\overrightarrow{\text{AB}}=\text{ray}\ \overrightarrow{\text{BA}}.$
  • D
    A ray has one end point.
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\text{Ray }\overrightarrow{\text{AB}}=\text{ray}\ \overrightarrow{\text{BA}}.$
Option $(a)$ is true, since we can pass an infinite number of lines through a given point.
Option $(b)$ is true, since a unique line can be drawn to pass through two given points.
Consider option $(c)$.
A ray is a line segment that extends indefinitely in one direction as shown below.
$\text{Ray }\overrightarrow{\text{AB}}=\text{ray}\ \overrightarrow{\text{BA}}$ is a false statement since clearly the lines extend indefinitely.

As shown in the above diagram, a ray has only one end-point. So, option $(d)$ is true.
Hence, the only false statement is option $(c)$.

The two lines which are parallel to the same line are _______ to each other.
  • A
    Perpendicular.
  • B
    Equal.
  • Parallel.
  • D
    None of these.
Answer
Correct option: C.
Parallel.
There are 3 lines $A B, C D, E F$, where $A B$ and $E F$ are parallel, and $C D$ and $E F$ are parallel.
Let line PQ cross $A B$ at $G, E F$ at $H, C D$ at $K$. On parallel lines, $A B$ and $E F$, angle $A G K=G H F$ (Alternate interior angles).
On parallel lines $A B$ and $E F$, angle $A G K=G H F$. (Alternate interior angles)
So, angle $A G K=G K D$. (Alternate interior angles)
So, $A B$ is parallel to $C D$.
