Question

To divide the line segment AB in the ratio m:n, a ray AX is drawn so that

∠ is an acute angle and then points are marked on ray AX at equal distance.

Find the minimum number of these points.​

Answer 1

Answer:

We should divide AX into 5+7=12 parts and draw a line parallel to BX from line no. 5 to AB.

Then this line will divide AX as well as AB in the ratio 5:7.

Hence, Option D is correct.
