Question

In the given figure AP : PB = 20 : 6 ,
then what's the value of x?

• A. 20
• B. 15
• C. 10
• D. 5

Answer 1

The correct option is C 10

When a line segment is divided by a point on the line, the ratio is given by
$\frac{AP}{PB}=\frac{20}{6}=\frac{10}{3}$
Since PB = 3 ,
$\therefore$ AP = x = 10.
