    In ΔABC, PQ is parallel to BC If AP: PB= 3:5 and AQ= 3

    cm, AC is equal to?
    A 9 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 12.5 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 16 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 8 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    As in ΔABC, PQ is parallel to BC then ΔAPQ is similiar to ΔABC, So by similarity, AP/AB = AQ/AC So 3/(3 + 5) = 3/AC or 3/8 = 3/AC or AC = 8 cm
