Solution

The correct option is A 2.9

Step 1: Draw a line segment AB of length 7.6 cm.
Step 2: Draw a line segment AP (5+8=)13 cm long and divide it into AQ(5 cm) and QP(8 cm).
Step 3: Join PB and draw a line QC parallel to PB so that it divides AB in the ratio 5:8.
On measuring the lengths, AC = 2.9 cm and CB = 4.7 cm
