Question

In the adjoining figure, the line EF is a transversal to the lines AC and BD. This statement is (True/False).

Answer 1

$\text{Transversal}$ is defined as a line that intersects two lines in the same plane at two distinct points.
The given figure is,
Line $EF$ intersects two other lines $AC$ and $BD$ at the same point $O$.

For a line to be transversal it must intersect the other two lines at two distinct points.

Hence, the line $EF$ is not a transversal.

So, the given statement is $\text{False}$.
