Question

In figure 1.71, seg XY||seg BC, then which of the following statements is true?Select the appropriate alternative
(A)AB/AC=AX/AY
(B)AX/XB=AY/AC
(C)AX/YC=AY/XB
(D)AB/YC=AC/XB

Answer 1

option A and B both are correct.
there are two theorems given in ncert related to this topic.
at instant theorems language is out of my range but this topic was given.

Answer 2

Solution :


In ∆ABC , XY // BC [ given ]

AX/XB = AY/YC = XY/BC

[ By Thales theorem,

Corresponding sides are proportional ]

( A ) AB/AC = AX/AY is true

( B ) AX/XB = AY/AC is false

( C ) AX/YC = AY/XB is false

( D ) AB/YC = AC/XB is false
