MCQ
Choose the correct answer from the given four options.
To divide a line segment AB in the ratio 5 : 7, first a ray AX is drawn so that $\angle\text{BAX}$ is an acute angle and then at equal distances points are marked on the ray AX such that the minimum number of these points is:
  • A
    8
  • B
    10
  • C
    11
  • ✓
    12
✓

Answer

Correct option: D.
12
We know that, to divide a line segment AB in the ratio m : n, first draw a ray AX which makes an acute angle $\angle\text{BAX}$, then marked m + n points at equal distance.Here,
m = 5, n = 7
So, minimum number of these points = m + n = 5 + 7 = 12.
