MCQ
Point $\left( {\frac{1}{2},\,\frac{{ - 13}}{4}} \right)$ divides the line joining the points $(3, - 5)$ and $( - 7,2)$ in the ratio of
  • $1 : 3$ internally
  • B
    $3 : 1$ internally
  • C
    $1 : 3$ externally
  • D
    $3 : 1$ externally

Answer

Correct option: A.
$1 : 3$ internally
a
(a) Let the ratio be $k : 1$

Therefore, $\frac{{ - 7k + 3}}{{k + 1}} = \frac{1}{2}\,\, \Rightarrow \,\,k = \frac{1}{3}$.

Hence ratio is $1 : 3$ internally.
