Question

When three parallel lines are cut by two transversals and the intercepts made by the first transversal are in the ratio 3 : 4, then the intercepts made by the second transversal are in the ratio:

• A. 2 : 4
• B. 1 : 1
• C. 3 : 4
• D. 4 : 3

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 3 : 4

Since the intercepts made by the first transversal are in the ratio 3:4, the intercepts made by the second transversal will also be in the same ratio. This follows from the basic principle of proportionality in parallel lines and transversals.
