To divide a line segment AB of length 7.6 cm in the ratio 5 : 8, a ray AX is drawn first such that ∠BAX forms an acute angle and then points A1, A2, A3, ….are located at equal distances on the ray AX and the point B is joined to:
A. A5
B. A6
C. A10
D. A13
Answer:D
To divide a line segment AB of length 7.6 cm in the ratio 5 : 8, a ray AX is drawn first such that ∠BAX forms an acute angle and then points A1, A2, A3, ….are located at equal distances on the ray AX and the point B is joined to:
A. A5 B. A6 C. A10 D. A13
Explanation: The minimum points located in the ray AX is 5 + 8 = 13. Hence, point B will join point A13.
