Question

Things which are equal to the same thing are…….to one another.
A.Perpendicular
B.Not equal
C.Equal
D.parallel

Answer 1

Hint: There is a difference in the definitions and nature of all the types mentioned above. We need to define them all. Then we will get to know the exact answer for the same. This method will help us to get near to the answer. The options so mentioned are the various patterns in the two things drawn or written in the geometrical part.

Complete step by step solution:
Perpendicular is the concept where there is an angle of \[{90^ \circ }\] or \[\dfrac{\pi }{2}\] in two lines we can say. They need not to be equal and also need not to be unequal also. We can say that it forms a right angle in such a situation.

Not equal:
The word itself suggests that the things are not equal. Now the non equality can be in terms of length or width or any other parameter. But this is not our answer.

Equal:
Now equal means they can equal in length the parameters so mentioned. So this is the answer.

Parallel:
Now parallel is the case in which the things are having an angle of zero degrees in between. Then only they are said to be parallel to each other and they can never intersect each other.

So, the correct answer is “Option C”.

Note: Note that don’t get confused between option C and D. if it is mentioned equal then option C is only correct because in case of parallel condition there is no restrictions on equality but in equal condition they must be equal to other in each parameter like replica of each other.
