उत्तर
Given three distinct points A, B and C in a plane, they can either be collinear or non collinear.
If they are collinear, then there can be only one line joining them.
If they are non collinear, then there can be three lines joining them.
For example, if we have three distinct non collinear points P, Q and R. Then we can draw three lines l, mand n joining them.

Consider two ‘postulates’ given below:-
- Given any two distinct points A and B, there exists a third point C which is in between A and B.
- 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.
