⇒∠ AXY≅ ∠ ABC
And, ∠ XAY≅ ∠ BAC (Common)
⇒ Δ AXY~ Δ ABC (By AA Test)
$\Rightarrow \frac{ AX }{ AB }=\frac{ AY }{ AC }=\frac{ XY }{ BC } \text { (corresponding sides are proportional) }$
$\Rightarrow \frac{ AB }{ AC }=\frac{ AX }{ AY }$
(B) doesn’t match the solution.
(C) doesn’t match the solution.
(D) doesn’t match the solution.
