Question

Intercept Theorem states that:

• A. Intercepts can be made by more than two lines in one traversal.
• B. If three or more parallel lines make equal intercepts in one traversal, then they make equal intercepts in any other traversal.
• C. For a line to be a traversal, it is not necessary that the lines it cuts are parallel.
• D. If a traversal line passes through two lines, then the section between the lines on the traversal lines is called the intercept.

Answer 1

The correct option is B If three or more parallel lines make equal intercepts in one traversal, then they make equal intercepts in any other traversal.

Intercept theorem states that :

If two intersecting lines are cut by parallel lines, the line segments cut by the parallel lines from one of the lines are proportional to the corresponding line segments cut by them from the other line.

Hence, option B is correct.
