Question

Sanjay on his birthday took his friends to a pizza shop and bought two pizzas. he found a child standing near the shop staring at the shop out of hunger. He planned to give one pizza to him and share the other among his friends. His friends argue that they got less pizza than that boy. How they concluded the fact? state the Euclid axiom to support. what value is sanjay depicting by doing so? state any two axioms other than used above.

Answer 1

Sanjay's friends arrived at this conclusion because the hungry child was able to get hold of one whole pizza, while Sanjay's friends had to share one pizza among themselves. Here. Euclid's 5th axiom has been used — "The whole is greater than its part." By this act, Sanjay reflects his kindness, generosity and humanitarian approach towards the poor child. To other Euclid's axioms, other than the 5th, are as follows — [a] First Axiom: Things which are equal to the same thing are also equal to one another. [b] Second Axiom: If equals are added to equals, the whole are equal.
