Q. Write true or false: Give reasons for your answers. (1) Line segment joining the centre to any point on the circle is a radius of the circle. (2) A circle has only finite number of equal chords. (3) If a circle is divided into three equal arcs, each is a major arc. (4) A chord of a circle, which is twice as long as its radius, is a diameter of the circle. (5) Sector is the region between the chord and its corresponding arc. (6) A circle is a plane figure.
