Answer:
ANSWER
Construction: Join BD
In △ABD, PO∥AB [∵ PQ∥AB ]
⇒
AP
DP
=
OB
DO
[ By basic proportionality theorem ] ------ ( 1 )
⇒ In △BDC, OQ∥DC [
∵ PQ∥DC ]
QC
BQ
=
OD
OB
[ By basic proportionality theorem ]
⇒
BQ
QC
=
OB
OD
----- ( 2 )
⇒
AP
DP
=
BQ
QC
[ From ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) ]
⇒
AP
18
=
35
15
∴ AP=
15
18×35
=42
∴ AD=AP+DP=42+18=60cm
