Question

Which one of the following is not an original postulate of geometry?

1. Only a few lines can be drawn from a point.
2. Each line (i.e. straight line) and is a set of plane points.
3. If two planets intersect, their intersection is a straight line.
4. A line drawn through two given points in a plane is also contained in the plane.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Only a few lines can be drawn from a point.

Postulate is a statement that is assumed true without proof. listed below are some postulates related to geometry:

• Infinite lines can be drawn from a point.
• A line contains at least two points.
• Each line (i.e. straight line) and is a set of plane points.
• A plane contains at least three noncollinear points.
• A line drawn through two given points in a plane is also contained in the plane.
• Through any two points, there is exactly one line. If two planes intersect, their intersection is a straight line.
• Through any three noncollinear points, there is exactly one plane.
• If two planes intersect, then their intersection is a line.

Hence, we conclude that Infinite lines can be drawn from a point.
