  1. In ∆ ABC, DE || AC. D and E are two points on AB and CB respectively. If AB = 10 cm and AD = 4 cm, then BE : CE is
    1. 2 : 3
    2. 2 : 5
    3. 5 : 2
    4. 3 : 2
Correct Option: D

According to question , we draw a figure of triangle ABC

Given , AB = 10 cm and AD = 4 cm
DE || AC
∆ BDE ~ ∆ BAC

BD
=
BE
DAEC

6
=
BE
4EC

⇒ BE : CE = 3 : 2
