Question

A point C divides a line segment AB in the ratio 5 : 6. The ratio of lengths AB: BC is ______.

विकल्प

• 11 : 5

• 11 : 6

• 6 : 11

• 5 : 11

Answer 1

A point C divides a line segment AB in the ratio 5 : 6. The ratio of lengths AB: BC is 11 : 6.

Explanation:-

Given `(AC)/(BC) = 5/6`

`(AB)/(BC)= (AC+BC)/(BC) = (AC)/(BC) +1 = 5/6+1 = 11/6`

So, ratio is 11 : 6.
