(i)

(ii)



(iii)



(iv)

Answer 1

In each of the figure, we have to find the value of x

(i)

By cross multiplication on both sides, we get

Hence the value of is .

(ii)

By cross multiplication on both sides, we get

Hence the value of is .

(iii)

By cross multiplication on both sides, we get

Hence the value of is .

(iv)

By cross multiplication on both sides, we get

Hence the value of is .
