     A group of points that lie in the same plane are called coplanar points.

     Thus, it is possible that 150 points can be coplanar.

(ii) No

      3 points will be coplanar because we can have a plane that can contain all 3 points on it.

ANSWER:

No p, q and r are not necessarily coplanar .

e.g.:-If we take p as intersecting line of two consecutive walls of a room , q as a line on the first wall and r on the second wall whose(both walls) intersection is line p .

Then we can see that p , q and r are not coplanar.

Question 23:

Lines p, q and r are concurrent. Also, lines p, r and s are concurrent. Draw a figure and state whether lines p, q, r and s are concurrent or not.

ANSWER:

We have:

Thus, lines p, q and r intersect at a common point O.

Also, lines p, r and s are concurrent.

Therefore, lines p, r and s intersect at a common point. But  q and r intersect each other at O.

So, s, q and r intersect at O.

Hence, p, q, r and s are concurrent. Lines p, q, r and s intersect at O.

Page No 10.9:

Question 24:

Lines p, q and r are concurrent. Also lines p, s and t are concurrent. Is it always true that the lines q, r and s will be concurrent? Is it always true for lines q, r and t?

ANSWER:

Lines p, q, and r are concurrent. So, lines p, q and r intersect at a common point O.

Given lines p, s and t are concurrent. So, lines p, s and t also intersect at a common point.

However, it is not always true that q, r and s or q, r and t are concurrent.
