Correct Answer: 8, 9
Solution : Given, trapezium ABCD with AD$\parallel$ BC Given, AO = 3, CO = $x-3$, BO = $3x-19$ and DO = $x-5$ Consider $\triangle$ ADO and $\triangle$ CBO, $\angle$ AOD = $\angle$ COB (vertically opposite angles) $\angle$ OAD = $\angle$ OCB (alternate interior angles) $\angle$ ODA = $\angle$ OBC (alternate interior angles) So, $\triangle$ ADO$\sim$$\triangle$ CBO. So, $\frac{\text{AO}}{\text{DO}}=\frac{\text{CO}}{\text{BO}}$ Or, $\frac{3}{x-5}=\frac{x-3}{3x-19}$ Or, $9x-57=x^{2}-8x+15$ Or, $x^{2}-17x+72=0$ Or, $(x-9)(x-8)=0$ Or, $x=8,9$ Hence, the correct answer is 8, 9.
