Exercise 7.1 Solutions

1. Define the following terms: 
(i) Line segment 
(ii) Collinear points 
(iii) Parallel lines 
(iv) Intersecting lines 
(v) Concurrent lines 
(vi) Ray 
(vii) Half - line 

Solution

(i) Line-segment- Give two points A and B on a line l, the connected part (segment) of the line with end points at A and B is called the line segment AB. 

(ii) Collinear points - Three or more points are said to be collinear if there is a line which contains all of them. 
(iii) Parallel lines - Two lines l and m in a plane are said to be parallel lines if they do not intersect each other. 

(iv) Intersecting lines - Two lines are intersecting if they have a common point. The common point is called point of intersection.

(v) Concurrent lines - Three or more lines are said to be concurrent if there is a point which lies on all of them.

(vi) Ray – A line in which one end point is fixed and the other part can be extended

endlessly. 

(vii) Half - line - If A, B, C be the points on a line l, such that A lies between B and C, and we delete the point A from line l, the two parts of I that remain are each called half - line.

2. (i) How many lines can pass through a given point ?

(ii) In how many points can two distinct lines at the most intersect ?

Solution 

(i) Infinitely many 

(ii) One

3. (i) Given two points P and Q, find how many line segments do they deter-mine.

(ii) Name the line segments determined by the three collinear points P, Q and R.

Solution

(i) One

(ii) PQ, QR, PR

4. Write the truth value (T/F) of each of the following statements:

(i) Two lines intersect in a point.

(ii) Two lines may intersect in two points.

(iii) A segment has no length.

(iv) Two distinct points always determine a line.

(v) Every ray has a finite length.

(vi) A ray has one end-point only.

(vii) A segment has one end-point only.

(viii) The ray AB is same as ray BA.

(ix) Only a single line may pass through a given point.

(x) Two lines are coincident if they have only one point in common.

Solution

(i) False

(iii) Four collinear points. C, D, Q, S 

(iv)  Two pairs of non - intersecting line segments AB and CD AB and LS

6. Fill in the blanks so as to make the following statements true: 

(i) Two distinct points in a plane determine a ____ line. 

(ii)  Two distinct ____ in a plane cannot have more than one point in common. 

(iii) Given a line and a point, not on the line, there is one and only ____ line which passes through the given point and is ____ to the given line. 

(iv) A line separates a plane into ____ parts namely the and the ____ itself. 

Solution

(i) Unique

(ii) Lines

(iii) Perpendicular, perpendicular

(iv) Three, two half planes, line.
