Question

The number of arcs that have to be drawn on ray BX which is at an acute angle to BC so as to divide BC in the ratio of 2:3.

• A. 3
• B. 5
• C. 2
• D. 6

Answer 1

The correct option is B 5

The number of points to be identified is the sum of numerator and denominator in 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.
