Question

It is known that if p + q = 100 then q + p + r = 100 + r. The Euclid's axiom that illustrates this statement is:

• A. First Axiom
• B. Second Axiom
• C. Third Axiom
• D. Fourth Axiom

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Second Axiom

Euclid's second axiom states that if equals are added to equals, the wholes are equal. Since in this case 'r' is added to the both sides of equation, the equality will still hold true.
