उत्तर
ΔABC is greater.
Explanation:
Similar triangles have corresponding sides in the same ratio, so the scale factor from ΔABC to ΔPQR is:
`(PR)/(AC) = 5/7 (< 1)`
Meaning each side of ΔPQR is `5/7` of the corresponding side of ΔABC.
Areas scale as the square of the side ratio, so:
`(Area(PQR))/(Area(ABC)) = (5/7)^2 = 25/49 < 1`
Therefore, ΔABC is greater.

If the point P(6, 7) divides the segment joining A(8, 9) and B(1, 2) in some ratio, find that ratio.
Solution:
Point P divides segment AB in the ratio m : n.
A(8, 9) = (x1, y1), B(1, 2) = (x2, y2) and P(6, 7) = (x, y)
Using Section formula of internal division,
∴ `7 = (m(square) - n(9))/(m + n)`
∴ 7m + 7n = `square` + 9n
∴ 7m – `square` = 9n – `square`
∴ `square` = 2n
∴ `m/n = square`
