उत्तर
It is given that P divides AB in the ratio 3 : 1.
Therefore, by section formula we have
\[\Rightarrow 9a - 2 = \frac{3\left( 8a \right) + 1\left( 3a + 1 \right)}{3 + 1}\]
\[ \Rightarrow 4\left( 9a - 2 \right) = 24a + 3a + 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow 36a - 8 = 27a + 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow 9a = 9\]
\[ \Rightarrow a = 1\]
And ,
\[\Rightarrow - b = \frac{3\left( 5 \right) + 1\left( - 3 \right)}{3 + 1}\]
\[ \Rightarrow - 4b = 15 - 3\]
\[ \Rightarrow b = - 3\]

A tiling or tessellation of a flat surface is the covering of a plane using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps. Historically, tessellations were used in ancient Rome and in Islamic art. You may find tessellation patterns on floors, walls, paintings etc. Shown below is a tiled floor in the archaeological Museum of Seville, made using squares, triangles and hexagons.
