To construct a triangle similar to a given `DeltaABC` with its sides `(3)/(7)` of the corresponding sides of `DeltaABC`, first draw a ray BX such that `angleCBX` is an acute angle and X lies on the opposite side of A with respect to BC. The minimum number of points to be located at equal distances on ray BX is

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
(b) To construct a triangle similar to a given triangle, with its sides `(m)/(n)` of the corresponding sides of given triangle the minimum number of points to be located at equal distances is equal to the greater of m and n in `(m)/(n)`
Here, `(m)/(n)=(8)/(5)`
So, the minimum number of point to be located at equal distance on ray BX is 8.
