Statement II: Conceptually, a point has no dimensions. In other words, it has no length, width or thickness.

  1. Statement I is true but statement II is false.

  2. Statement I is false but statement II is true.

  3. Both Statement I and statement II are true.

Answer

Both Statement I and Statement II are true.

Explanation

A small dot marked by a sharp pencil on a sheet of paper (or a prick made by a fine needle) is used to represent a point in geometry. It marks the exact location we want to show. So, Statement I is true.

A point only determines a location — conceptually it has no length, no width and no thickness, i.e. it has no dimensions. The dot we draw is only a visual representation; the true mathematical point is dimensionless. So, Statement II is also true.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
