प्रश्न
Find the value of x for which DE || AB in figure.
उत्तर
According to the question,
DE || AB
Using basic proportionality theorem,
`("CD")/("AD") = ("CE")/("BE")`
∴ If a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle such that it intersects the other sides at distinct points, then, the other two sides are divided in the same ratio.
Hence, we can conclude that, the line drawn is equal to the third side of the triangle.
⇒ `(x + 3)/(3x + 19) = x/(3x + 4)`
(x + 3)(3x + 4) = x(3x + 19)
3x2 + 4x + 9x + 12 = 3x2 + 19x
19x – 13x = 12
6x = 12
∴ x = `12/6` = 2
