MCQ
In the given figure if $\text{DE}\parallel\text{BC},\text{DE}\parallel\text{BC},$ then $x$ is equal to :
  • A
    $15.$
  • B
    $19.$
  • C
    $17.$
  • $11.$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$11.$
Given : $\text{DE}\parallel\text{BC}$
$\therefore\frac{\text{AD}}{\text{DB}}=\frac{\text{AE}}{\text{EC}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{4}{\text{x-}4}=\frac{8}{\text{3x-19}}$ by using Thale's theorem
$\Rightarrow4\text{x}=44$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=11$
