Question
Prove The Theorem : If a line parallel to a side of a triangle intersects the remaining sides in two distinct points, then the line divides the sides in the same proportion.

Answer

Given : In $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$ line $l \|$ line $\mathrm{BC}$ and line $l$ intersects $\mathrm{AB}$ and $A C$ in point $P$ and $Q$ respectively To prove : $\frac{\mathrm{AP}}{\mathrm{PB}}=\frac{\mathrm{AQ}}{\mathrm{QC}}$

A box contains $5$ strawberry chocolates, $6$ coffee chocolates and $2$ peppermint
chocolates. If one of the chocolates is picked from the box at randomly, Find the
probability of the following events by completing the activity.
(i) Event A : it is a coffee chocolate. 
(ii) Event B : it is a peppermint chocolate.Activity : Let 'S' is the sample space.

$\therefore n(S) = 5+6+2 = 13$

(i) Event A : it is a coffee chocolate
$\therefore n(A) =$ ………… 
$\therefore P(A) = \frac{\square}{n(S)}$ ………… Formula
$\therefore P(A)=\frac{\square}{13}$

(ii) Event B : it is a peppermint chocolate.
$\therefore n(B) =$ ………… 
$\therefore P(B) =\frac{\square}{n(S)}$ ………… Formula
$\therefore P(B) =\frac{\square}{13}$
