प्रश्न
In figure, PQ is parallel to BC, AP : AB = 2 : 7. If QC = 0 and BC = 21,
Find
(i) AQ
(ii) PQ
उत्तर
(i) Since PQ || BC
`"AP"/"PB" = "AQ"/"QC"`
⇒ `"AP"/("AB" - "AP") = "AQ"/"QC"`
⇒ `(2)/(5) = "AQ"/(10)`
⇒ AQ = `(2 xx 10)/(5)`
⇒ AQ = 4.
(ii) Since PQ || BC
`"AP"/"AB" = "PQ"/"BC"`
⇒ `(2)/(7) = "PQ"/(21)`
⇒ PQ = `(2 xx 21)/(7)`
⇒ PQ = 6.
