Question

In $\Delta ABC$, if D is a point on the side AB such that $\frac{AB}{AD}=3$, then $\frac{AD}{DB}$ = .

• A. $\frac{1}{3}$
• B. $2$
• C. $\frac{1}{2}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{AB}{AD}=3\Rightarrow \frac{AD+DB}{AD}=3\Rightarrow 1+\frac{DB}{AD}=3\Rightarrow \frac{DB}{AD}=2\Rightarrow \frac{AD}{DB}=\frac{1}{2}$
