In , point divides side in the ratio . Let be the point of intersection of side and where is the midpoint of . The point divides side in the ratio
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
Solution
We will use mass points to solve this problem. is in the ratio so we will assign a mass of to point a mass of to point and a mass of to point We also know that is the midpoint of so has a mass of so also has a mass of In line has a mass of and has a mass of Therefore, The answer is
Final answer
B
