# Ex.5.1 Q3 Introduction to Euclids Geometry Solution - NCERT Maths Class 9

## Question

Consider two ‘postulates’ given below:

(i) Given any two distinct points $$A$$ and $$B$$ there exists a third point $$C$$ which is in between $$A$$ and $$B$$.

(ii) There exist at least three points that are not on the same line.

Do these postulates contain any undefined terms? Are these postulates consistent? Do they follow from Euclid’s postulates? Explain.

## Text Solution

#### Reasoning:

Euclid’s axioms.

Steps:

Yes, these postulates contain undefined terms. These two statements are consistent as they talk about two different situations.

These statements do not follow Euclid’s postulates but one of the axiom about “Given any two points, a unique line that passes through them” is followed.
