उत्तर
We have, AB = BC ...(i)
And BX = BY ...(ii)
According to Euclid’s axiom, if equals are subtracted from equals, the remainders are equal.
So, on subtracting equation (ii) from equation (i), we get
AB – BX = BC – BY
⇒ AX = CY ...[From figure]

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.
If a point C lies between two points A and B such that AC = BC, then prove that AC = `1/2` AB. Explain by drawing the figure.
