0%
$Q$ and $S$ only
0%
$P, R$ and $T$
0%
$Q, S$ and $T$

Explanation

Any point which do not lie on the

$x-$ axis has coordinates of the form

$(x,y)$ , where

$y\neq0$

From the given points,

$P(0,3),$

$y=3\neq 0$ ,

$Q(1,0),$

$y=0$ ,

$R(0,1),$

$y=1\neq 0$ ,

$S(5,0),$

$y=0$

and in

$T(1,2),$

$y=2\neq 0$ .

We can see that, the coordinates of points

$P,R$ and

$T$ have

$y\neq 0$ .

Thus,

$P,R$ and

$T$ do not lie on the

$x-$ axis.

Hence, option

$C$ is correct.

$P (1, 1), Q (-3,- 4), R(-1,- 1), S(2, 3)$ and
