By geometrical construction, it is possible to divide a line segment in the ratio `sqrt(3):(1)/(sqrt(3))`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
True
Given, ratio `= sqrt(3):(1)/(sqrt(3))`
Required ratio = 3:1 [ multiply `sqrt(3)` in each term ]
So, `sqrt(3):(1)/(sqrt(3))` can be simplified as 3:1 and 3 as well as 1 both are positive integer.
Hence, the geometrical construction is possible to divide a line segment in the ratio 3:1
