Question

If $l$ is any given line and $P$ is any point not lying on $l$, then the number of parallel lines that can be drawn through $P$, parallel to $l$ would be:

• A. one
• B. two
• C. infinite
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A one

Draw a line $l$ and a point $P$ not lying on $l$.

Now, we can draw a straight line parallel to $l$ which passes through $P$.

Clearly from the figure, only one line can be drawn which is parallel to $l$ and passes through $P$.

Hence, option A is correct.
