Solution
The correct option is
B
False
There is a slight difference between coincident lines and parallel lines.
→
Differences:
∙
Parallel lines have constant space between them while coincident lines superimpose on each other or do not have any space between them.
∙
Parallel lines do not have any point in common while coincident lines have all points in common.
Parallel lines can be represented as:
Coincident lines can be represented as:
Or,
Hence, we can say that coincident lines are not same as parallel lines. The given statement is
false
