Question

Consider the following three statements.

Statement -1: The x - coordinate is called ordinate.
Statement -2: The y - coordinate is called abscissa.
Statement-3: To express the coordinates of a point in the coordinate plane, the abscissa comes first and then the ordinate comes.

Which of the following is true?

• A. Statements 1 and 2 are true and statement 3 is false.
• B. Statements 1 and 2 are false and statement 3 is true.
• C. Statements 2 and 3 are true and statement 1 is false.
• D. All three Statements are true.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Statements 1 and 2 are false and statement 3 is true.

Step : Find the correct statement

1. x-coordinate is called as abscissa, so statement 1 is false.
2. y-coordinate is called as ordinate, so statement 2 is false
3. Coordinates are expressed as abscissa first and then ordinate, so statement 3 is true.

Hence the correct option is B.
