\( A B C D \) is a parallelogram of area 162 sq.cm. \( P \) is a point on \( A B \) such that \( \boldsymbol{A P}: \boldsymbol{P B}=\mathbf{1}: \mathbf{2} \) Calculate the ratio \( \boldsymbol{P} \boldsymbol{A}: \boldsymbol{D} \boldsymbol{C} \)
- A. 1: 3
- B. 3: 1
- C. 3: 2 \)
- D. 2: 3
Step-by-step solution
In a parallelogram ABCD, opposite sides are equal, so DC = AB. P lies on AB such that AP:PB = 1:2, so AP:AB = 1:3. Hence, PA:DC = AP:AB = 1:3.
