Question 22 Marks
Lines $p, q$ are coplanar. So are the lines $p, r.$ Can we conclude that the lines $p, q, r$ are coplanar$?$
Answer
View full question & answer→No, $p, q$ and $r$ are not necessarily coplanar. Example: 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 $p.$ Thus we can see that $p, q$ and $r$ are not coplanar.
Question 32 Marks
From write concurrent lines and their points of concurrence.
Answer
View full question & answer→From the given figure, we have: Concurrent lines can be defined as three or more lines which share the same meeting point. Clearly lines, $n, q,$ and $l$ are concurrent with A as the point of concurrence. Lines, $m, q$ and $p$ are concurrent with $B$ as the point of concurrence.

Answer
View full question & answer→A circle is a simple closed curve but not a polygon. A polygon has line segments, but a circle has only curve. 
Question 92 Marks
Mark the following points on a sheet of a paper. Tell how many line segments can be obtained in case: Two points $A, B.$
Answer
View full question & answer→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 $\frac{\text{n(n-1)}}{2}.$
On applying the above formula, we get:
For two points $A$ and $B:$ Number of line segments $=\frac{2(2-1)}{2}=1.$
the number of line segments obtained by joining these points is equal to $\frac{\text{n(n-1)}}{2}.$
On applying the above formula, we get:
For two points $A$ and $B:$ Number of line segments $=\frac{2(2-1)}{2}=1.$

Question 112 Marks
Mark the following points on a sheet of a paper. Tell how many line segments can be obtained in case: Three non-collinear points $A, B, C.$
Answer
View full question & answer→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 $\frac{\text{n(n-1)}}{2}.$ On applying the above formula, we get: For three non-collinear points $A, B$ and $C:$ Number of line segments $=\frac{3(3-1)}{2}=\frac{3\times2}{2}=3.$
Question 122 Marks
Coplanar points are the points that are in the same plane. Thus, Can $150$ points be coplanar?
Answer
View full question & answer→Yes, A group of points that lie in the same plane are called co planar points. Thus, it is possible that $150$ points can be co-planar.
Question 132 Marks

Question 202 Marks
Coplanar points are the points that are in the same plane. Thus, Can $3$ points be non-coplanar$?$
Answer
View full question & answer→No, Three points will be coplanar because we can have a plane that can contain $3$ points on it. Thus, it is not possible that $3$ points will be non-coplanar.
