उत्तर
Steps of construction:
- Draw a line segment AB of length 10 cm.
- Draw a line AX making an acute angle with AB.
- Mark 7 points A1, A2, A3, ...... A7 along AX such that AA1 = A1A2 = A1A3 = ...... = A6A7.
- Join point B with point A7.
- Through the point A2, draw a line parallel to A7B by making an angle equal to ∠AA7B at A2. This line meets AB at a point P.
As a result, point P is necessary to divide line AB internally in the ratio of 2 : 5.
Justification: In ΔAA7B, A2P || A7B.
As a result of the basic proportionality theorem,
`(A A_2)/(A_2A_7) = (AP)/(PB)` .......(i)
By the above construction,
`(A A_2)/(A_2A_7) = 2/5` ......(ii)
By equations (i) and (ii),
`(AP)/(PB) = 2/5`
Thus, AP : PB = 2 : 5
As a result, P splits the line AB in the ratio 2 : 5.

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`
