B

The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following statements is not a Euclid's axiom, we will analyze each option one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Option A: The whole is greater than the part.** - This statement is true and is indeed one of Euclid's axioms. It states that if you have a whole, it must be greater than any of its parts. Therefore, this option is not the answer. 2. **Option B: Things which are double of the same thing are equal to one another.** - This statement is also true and corresponds to Euclid's axiom. If A and B are both double of C, then A = B. Thus, this option is not the answer. 3. **Option C: Things which are half of the same thing are equal to one another.** - This statement is true as well. If A and B are both half of C, then A = B. Therefore, this option is also not the answer. 4. **Option D: If two things are equal, then their sum is equal to one third of one thing.** - This statement is not true. If A = B, then A + B = 2A, not one third of one thing. This does not align with Euclid's axioms, making this option the correct answer. ### Conclusion: The statement that is not a Euclid's axiom is **Option D**: "If two things are equal, then their sum is equal to one third of one thing." ---
