Consider two ‘postulates’ given below:-

1. Given any two distinct points A and B, there exists a third point C which is in between A and B.
2. 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.

If a point C lies between two points A and B such that AC = BC, point C is called a mid-point of line segment AB. Prove that every line segment has one and only one mid-point.

In the following figure, if AC = BD, then prove that AB = CD.

Why is Axiom 5, in the list of Euclid’s axioms, considered a ‘universal truth’? (Note that the question is not about the fifth postulate.)
