The point D and E lies on sides AB and AC of ∆ABC such that DE || BC and AD = 8 cm, AB = 12 cm and AE = 12 cm, then CE will be :(A) 6 cm(B) 18 cm(C) 9 cm(D) 15 cm |

Answer» Answer is (A) 6 cm In ∆ABC DE || BC ∴ AD/BD = AE/CE (Basic Prop. Theorem) AD/(AB - AD) = AE/CE ⇒ 8/(12 - 8) = 12/CE ⇒ 8/4 = 12/CE ⇒ 8 × CE = 12 × 4 ⇒ CE = (12 x 4)/8 ⇒ CE = 6 cm |
