Answer: The answer is true.


Step-by-step explanation: We are to check whether a major arc of a circle is also minor arc or not.

In the attached figure, A major arc AB is drawn on a circle with centre 'O'. The, we can easily see from there that the major arc AB corresponds to another arc AB which is smaller in length than the major arc AB.

This smaller arc is called the minor arc AB. This explains the existence of a minor arc whenever there is a major arc on a circle.

Thus, the given statement is true.
