Let a = b and a = c, then we can simply state that b = c. Here, b and c are equal to same thing (a here) so they are equal to each other.
2. How much lines can pass from one point?
a) One
b) Two
c) Infinite
d) Zero
View Answer

As shown in below figure, there is only one line that can pass through two distinct points O and P.
4. If P, Q and R are three points on a line and Q lies between P and R, then __________
a) PR + QR = PR
b) PQ + PR = PR
c) PQ + PR = QR
d) PQ + QR = PR
View Answer
Explanation: We can see in below diagram that Q is between P and R and hence PQ + QR = PR.
