It is known that if x + y = 10 then x + y + z = 10 + z. The Euclid’s axiom that illustrates this statement is:

(A) First Axiom

(B) Second Axiom

(C) Third Axiom

(D) Fourth Axiom

(B) Second Axiom

Solution:

Euclid’s second axiom illustrate this statement

Euclid’s second axiom: To produce (extend) a finite straight line continuously in a straight line: If equals are added to equals, then the wholes are equal (Addition property of equality). Here we can see that  

x + y = 10

then we are adding an equal quantity, i.e., z to both.

x + y + z = 10 + z

Hence, option (B) is correct.
