# If X/(B + C - A) = Y /(C + a - B) = Z/(A + B - C) , Then Prove that Each Ratio is Equal to the Ratio of (X + Y+Z)/(A + B + C) - ICSE Class 10 - Mathematics

#### Question

If "x"/("b + c - a") =" y" /("c + a - b") = "z"/("a + b - c") , then prove that each ratio is equal to the ratio of ("x + y+z")/("a + b + c")

#### Solution

"x"/("b + c - a") =" y" /("c + a - b") = "z"/("a + b - c") = "k"

x = k (b + c- a)

Y = k (c+a-b)

z = k (a+b-c)

Now ,

("x + y+z")/("a + b + c")

= ("k"("b + c - a") + "k" ("c + a - b")+ "k" ("a + b - c"))/("a + b + c")

= ("k" ("b + c - a + c + a - b + a + b - c"))/("a + b + c")

= ("k"("a + b + c"))/("a + b + c") = "k"

Hence ,

"x"/("b + c - a") =" y" /("c + a - b") = "z"/("a + b - c") = ("x + y+z")/("a + b + c")

Proved.
