The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements are true, let's analyze each statement one by one: 1. **Statement (i)**: A line segment has no definite length. - **Analysis**: This statement is **false**. A line segment has a definite length, which is the distance between its two endpoints. 2. **Statement (ii)**: A ray has no end point. - **Analysis**: This statement is **false**. A ray has one endpoint (the starting point) and extends infinitely in one direction. 3. **Statement (iii)**: A line has definite length. - **Analysis**: This statement is **false**. A line extends infinitely in both directions and does not have a definite length. 4. **Statement (iv)**: A line AB is the same as line BA. - **Analysis**: This statement is **true**. The order of points does not affect the line; line AB is the same as line BA. 5. **Statement (v)**: A ray AB is the same as ray BA. - **Analysis**: This statement is **false**. A ray has a fixed starting point (A) and extends infinitely in the direction of point B. Therefore, ray AB is not the same as ray BA. 6. **Statement (vi)**: Two distinct points always determine a unique line. - **Analysis**: This statement is **true**. Any two distinct points will always define one unique line. 7. **Statement (vii)**: Three lines are concurrent if they have a common point. - **Analysis**: This statement is **true**. If three lines intersect at a single point, they are considered concurrent. 8. **Statement (viii)**: Two distinct lines cannot have more than one point in common. - **Analysis**: This statement is **true**. Two distinct lines can intersect at most at one point. 9. **Statement (ix)**: Two intersecting lines cannot be both parallel to the same line. - **Analysis**: This statement is **true**. If two lines intersect, they cannot be parallel to the same line. 10. **Statement (x)**: An open half line is the same thing as a ray. - **Analysis**: This statement is **true**. An open half line (or ray) has one endpoint and extends infinitely in one direction. 11. **Statement (xi)**: Two lines may intersect in two points. - **Analysis**: This statement is **false**. Two lines can intersect at most at one point. 12. **Statement (xii)**: Two lines are parallel only when they have no point in common. - **Analysis**: This statement is **true**. Parallel lines do not intersect, meaning they have no points in common. ### Summary of True Statements: - True: (iv), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), (x), (xii) - False: (i), (ii), (iii), (v), (xi)
