Draw three parallel lines.
ii.Label them as l, m, n.
iii.Draw transversals `t_(1) and t_(2)`.
iv. AB and BC are intercepts on transversal `t_(1)`.
v.PQ and QR are intercepts on transversal `t_(2)`.
vi.Find rations `(AB)/(BC) and (PQ)/(QR)`. You will find that they are almost equal. Verify theat they are equal.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`therefore (AB)/(BC) = (PQ)/(QR)`
