Question

BPT (Basic proportional theorem) states that if a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle to intersect the other two sides in distinct points then the other two sides are divided in the present ratio.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Basic proportionality theorem states that if a line is drawn parallel to a side of triangle, it intersects the other two sides at distinct points such that those two sides are divided in proportion (or same ratio).

$i.e.,\frac{AP}{PB}=\frac{AQ}{CQ}$

$=>\frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d}$

statement given has "present ratio" which has no significance.

$B)False$
