Question

Line segment has …………………. end points.
$
  (a){\text{ no}} \\
  (b){\text{ 2}} \\
  (c){\text{ 1}} \\
  (d){\text{ 3}} \\
  $

Answer 1

Hint: In this question try to draw a line segment and check how many number of endpoints it has, this will give a clearer idea about the rightness of the options given.

As we know for a line segment there should be a minimum two points so consider the line segment AB as shown in figure.

So as we see this line segment has 2 endpoints, one each at either side.
So the line segment has 2 endpoints.
Hence option (B) is correct.

Note: The definition of line segment is as follows, in geometry it is a part of a line that is bounded by two distinct endpoints, and contains every point on the line between its end points. There are three types of line segments, closed line segment is one that includes both end points while an open line segment excludes both end points and half-open line segment which includes exactly one of the both end points.
