Two lines, P and Q intersect. Point A lies on p and q and Point B lies on P and Q.
Are they two separate points, the same point, or are they two different points one on top of the other?

Assuming that P and Q are not the same line, A and B are the same point.

Clearly, almost every answerer gave the wrong answer.
That would be your problem (NO DUH) and their problem.
Point A lies on p and q
Point B lies of P and Q
You haven't even mentioned any details of p and q.
It may be the same letter, but it is impossible to assume that they are the same lines.
If you happen to have taken the SAT's, college exams, middle school tests, high schools tests, everything... p is not P and q is not Q. Yo... EVERYTHING!!!!!!
If p is P and q were Q, they are the same point. Depending on your perspective it could be all the answers also. It still has to be the same coordinates. By labels, B is not A, but the coordiantes are the same.
Looking at the question makes it questionable whether if p and q were a line lol. What if it were a point?
Just hope that this answer can make your life on Yahoo! answers a whole lot easier. And mine.

If the lines are two different lines, then they intersect at only one point. If A is part of both lines, then it has to be the intersection point. Ditto for B. So points A and B are the same.

I believe they are the same point. Since two lines intersect to make one point, it can't be two separate points next to each other, because the points both have to be on both lines p and q.

They may be one point, one on the other or different points as the lines intersecting in more than one point are same lines named differently.

they would have to be together since the 2 lines only intersect at one place and both points a and b lie on the intersection.

they are the same point which owned by P and Q.

are p and q straight lines? that could make all the difference to the answers you could get

They are the same point. Euclid that they are superimposed.
