The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will evaluate each statement one by one and determine whether they are true (T) or false (F). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement P**: "Two points having same abscissae but different ordinates, lies on a line parallel to y-axis." - **Explanation**: If two points have the same abscissa (x-coordinate) but different ordinates (y-coordinates), they will lie vertically above or below each other on the Cartesian plane. This means they will form a vertical line, which is parallel to the y-axis. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **True (T)**. 2. **Statement Q**: "The abscissa of a point on y-axis is always equal to its ordinate." - **Explanation**: The abscissa (x-coordinate) of any point on the y-axis is always 0, while the ordinate (y-coordinate) can be any value (positive, negative, or zero). Therefore, the abscissa is not equal to the ordinate unless the point is the origin (0,0). - **Conclusion**: This statement is **False (F)**. 3. **Statement R**: "The point at which the two coordinate axes meet is called the origin." - **Explanation**: The origin is defined as the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, which is at the coordinates (0,0). - **Conclusion**: This statement is **True (T)**. 4. **Statement S**: "The signs of abscissae and ordinates are same in the quadrant I and IV." - **Explanation**: In Quadrant I, both x (abscissa) and y (ordinate) are positive. In Quadrant IV, the x (abscissa) is positive and y (ordinate) is negative. Therefore, the signs are not the same in these quadrants. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **False (F)**. 5. **Statement T**: "The perpendicular distance of the point (2,8) from y-axis is 8 units." - **Explanation**: The perpendicular distance from the y-axis to a point (x,y) is given by the absolute value of the x-coordinate. For the point (2,8), the distance from the y-axis is |2| = 2 units, not 8 units. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **False (F)**. ### Final Answers: - P: T - Q: F - R: T - S: F - T: F ### Summary of Results: - P: T - Q: F - R: T - S: F - T: F
