For a triangle ABC ,D and E are two points on AB and AC such that AD=(1)/(4)AB,AE=(1)/(4)AC . If BC = 12 cm, then DE is

One-fifth of the area of a triangle ABC is cut off by a line DE drawn parallel to BC such that D is on AB and E is on AC. If BC = 10 cm, then what is DE equal to ?

In DeltaABC DE||BC, where DE intersects AB and AC at the points D and E, respectively. If AD = 6 cm, DB = 12X- 6cm, AE= 2x cm and CE = 16 - 2x cm, then the value of X is
