  1. The points D and E are taken on the sides AB and AC of ∆ABC such that AD = 1/3 AB, AE = 1/3 AC. If the length of BC is 15 cm, then the length of DE is :
    1. 10 cm
    2. 8 cm
    3. 6 cm
    4. 5 cm
Correct Option: D

On the basis of given in question , we draw a figure triangle ABC ,

AD
=
AE
=
1
ABAC3

DE
=
1
BC3

⇒ DE =
15
= 5 cm
