Question

Statement I: A line segment can be extended indefinitely in both the directions.

Statement II: Two lines are parallel if they do not intersect each other.

Pick the correct option

• A. Statement I is true and Statement II is false
• B. Statement I is false and Statement II is true
• C. Both the statements are true
• D. None of the statements is true

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Statement I is true and Statement II is false

A terminated line (a line segment) can be extended in both the directions indefinitely according to the Euclid's 2^nd postulate. So, it is true. On the other hand, two lines are only parallel if they do not intersect ever and they are in the same plane. So, statement II is not true
