Question 11 In the given figure, DE II BC. Which of the following is true? (a) π₯=(π + π)/ππ¦ (b) π¦=ππ₯/(π + π) (c) π₯=ππ¦/(π + π) (d) x/π¦=π/π Since DE β₯ BC β ADB = β ABD β AED = β ACB Thus, by AA Similarity Ξ ADE ~ Ξ ABC Since sides are proportional in similar triangles π΄πΈ/π΄πΆ=π·πΈ/π΅πΆ π/(π + π)=π/π ππ¦/(π + π)=π₯ π=ππ/(π + π) So, the correct answer is (c)
