Question

Ravi drew two lines L and M on a sheet of paper and a third line N to intersect these two lines. He observed that the angles formed by the intersection of the lines L and N were equal to the corresponding angles formed between M and N. What can be said about the lines?

• A. Lines L and M are perpendicular
• B. Lines L and M are parallel
• C. Line N is perpendicular to both the lines L and M
• D. Lines L, M and N are parallel to each other

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Lines L and M are parallel

Since pairs of corresponding angles of lines, L and M with the transversal N are equal, it can be concluded that L and M are parallel.
