Question

Point C divides segment AB so that AC:AB is 3:8. Which statement is NOT true?
HELP!

Answer 1

Given:

It is given that

C divides AB so that, AC:AB = 3:8

To find the wrong option among the given options.

Let us take,

AB =
`8x` unit

AC =
`3x` unit

So,

CB =
`8x-3x`

CB =
`5x` unit

So, we can conclude that,

AC: CB: AB = 3:5:8

Hence,

The wrong option is C i.e, Point C is
`(3)/(5)` of way from point A to point B.
