Which statement matches Euclid's axiom 'The whole is greater than the part'?

Class 9Euclid's PostulatesGeometry — Foundations
  • AAB equals BA
  • BIf AB = 8 cm and C lies on AB, then AC is less than AB
  • CAll radii are equal
  • DTwo lines meet at a point

Step-by-Step Solution

C between A and B makes AC a part of AB, so AC < AB — the whole AB is greater than its part AC.
Answer: B) If AB = 8 cm and C lies on AB, then AC is less than AB
