Q6Which of the lines represents a ray?


A. Figure 3
B. Figure 1
C. Figure 2

Solutions
Share 
Step: 1
A ray is part of a line, which begins at a fixed end point.
Step: 2
So, a ray has one fixed end and the other end can be extended to any length.
Step: 3
Among the figures, Figure 1 has only one end point. So, it is a ray.
Correct Answer is :   Figure 1
Q7Identify a ray on the figure shown.


A. QR¯
B. AB↔
C. PR¯
D. QA→

Solutions
Share 
Step: 1
A ray is defined as a line starting at some point of the plane and proceeding outwards.
Step: 2
In the figure, QA is a line starting at point Q and proceeding outwards.
Step: 3
So, QA is a ray in the figure.
Correct Answer is :   QA→
Q8Which among the figures is a line?


A. Figure 1
B. Figure 3
C. Figure 4
D. Figure 2

Solutions
Share 
Step: 1
A straight line with no fixed points is called a line.
Step: 2
Among the figures, GH has no fixed points.
Step: 3
So, Figure 1 is the line.
Correct Answer is :   Figure 1
Q9How many line segments are there in the figure?

A. 7
B. 10
C. 8
D. 6

Solutions

Step: 1
A straight line with two fixed points is called a line segment.
Step: 2
In the given figure, there are 8 line segments.
Correct Answer is :   8
Q10Identify a line in the figure shown.

A. PB↔
B. QB↔
C. QR↔
D. AB↔

Solutions
Share 
Step: 1
A line is a straight path that is endless in both directions.
Step: 2
In the figure, AB is a line, PQ, QR, and PR are the line segments, and PB, QB, and RB are the rays on the line AB.
Step: 3
So, AB↔     is a line in the figure shown.
Correct Answer is :   AB↔
