Question

In the given figure, the total number of line segments is

• A. 5
• B. 10
• C. 15
• D. 13

Answer 1

The correct option is C 15

A line segment is a portion of a line. It has two endpoints.



Now, in the line AF, these are 3 line segments namely, MQ, MO and QO.
Similarly, in the line BH, there are 3 line segments namely, MR, MK and RK.
In the line CG, there are 3 line segments namely, SP, SO and PO.
In the line DI, there are 3 line segments namely, SQ, SK and QK.
In the line VU, there are 3 line segments namely, PQ, PR and QR.
Therefore, the total number of line segments is 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 15.
Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
