- The point P is mid point of AB and Q is mid point of line segment PB. Identify the points P and Q by dividing AB accordingly.
- Find the ratios in which the points P and Q divide line segment AB and then divide the line segment AB in the ratios obtained.
- The points P and Q are points of trisection of the line segment AB. Identify the points P and Q by dividing AB into three equal parts.
- None of the above
Mention the proper order of identifying a point D on BC such that BDDC=23.
1) Join B5C and draw a line parallel to B5C from B2.
2) Identify the ratio in which the point D divides BC using the relation given.
3) Mark 5 points B1, B2, B3, B4 and B5 on BX such that they are equidistant.
4) Construct a ray BX which makes an acute angle with line segment BC.
5) The point of intersection of the parallel line from B2 with BC is the point D.

To divide AB in the ratio 5:1, after some stages, we draw an arc with centre at A6, repeat the same with equal radius at A5. Then mark the first arc (A6 and A5) at C1 and mark the same for second arc (A5 and A4) at C2. This is done in order to:
Make the diagram attractive .
Draw a line A6B′ through C2.
Draw an angle at A5 equal to ∠ AA6B.
Draw A′C2∥AA6
To divide a line segment PQ in a certain ratio, we draw a ray PM. Why don’t we draw it with an obtuse angle?
We cannot measure an obtuse angle with the given line segment.
The textbook says we should draw an acute angle.
Drawing an obtuse angle would make my constructions very congested.
The diagram would be very large.
AB is a line segment which is inclined to line XY, such that they intersect at point O. A line PQ is drawn which intersects the line XY at point P at the same angle of inclination as AB. Line PQ is _________ to line segment AB.
perpendicular
bisector
concurrent
parallel
