Question
From the information given in the figure, determine whether MP is the bisector of ∠KMN.

Solution
We know that the bisector of an angle of a triangle divides the side opposite to the angle in the ratio of the remaining sides.
Now, `(KP)/(PN) = 2/3`
And `(MK)/(MN) = 5/6`
∵ `2/3 ≠ 5/6`
∴ `(KP)/(PN) ≠ (MK)/(MN)`
Hence, MP is not the bisector of ∠KMN.
