The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given statements are Euclid's postulates, we need to analyze each statement based on the definitions of Euclid's five postulates. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Euclid's Postulates**: - Euclid's postulates are foundational statements in geometry that are accepted without proof. There are five main postulates. 2. **Analyzing Statement (i)**: - Statement (i): "A terminated line can be produced indefinitely." - This statement corresponds to Euclid's second postulate, which states that a line segment can be extended indefinitely in both directions. 3. **Analyzing Statement (ii)**: - Statement (ii): "Things which coincide with one another are equal to one another." - This statement is not one of Euclid's five postulates. It is more of a common geometric principle but does not appear explicitly in Euclid's original postulates. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, statement (i) is a Euclid's postulate, while statement (ii) is not. 5. **Final Answer**: - The correct answer is that only statement (i) is a Euclid's postulate.
