Question

Match the number of arcs drawn on ray BX which is at an acute angle to BC so as to divide BC in given ratio.

• A. 5
• B. 7
• C. 13
• D. 14

Answer 1

The number of points to be identified is the sum of numbers in the simplest form of the ratio in which the line BC must be divided.
So, the number of equidistant points that have to be identified on the ray BX is 2+3 = 5; 4+3 = 7; 5+8 = 13;
3+11 = 14
