Question : For a triangle ABC, D and E are two points on AB and AC such that $\mathrm{AD}=\frac{1}{6} \mathrm{AB}$, $\mathrm{AE}=\frac{1}{6} \mathrm{AC}$. If BC = 22 cm, then DE is _______. (Consider up to two decimals)
Option 1: 1.33 cm
Option 2: 1.67 cm
Option 3: 3.67 cm
Option 4: 3.33 cm
Correct Answer: 3.67 cm
Solution : D is a point on AB such that AD = $\frac{1}{6}$AB and E is a point on AC such that AE = $\frac{1}{6}$AC DE is joined. BC = 22 cm In triangle ADE and triangle ABC, $\frac{AD}{AB}=\frac{AE}{EC}$ In a similar triangle, the ratio of their corresponding sides is equal. So, $\triangle ADE \sim \triangle ABC$ Now, $\frac{AD}{DE}=\frac{AB}{BC}$ ⇒ $\frac{AD}{AB}=\frac{DE}{BC}$ ⇒ $\frac{1}{6}=\frac{DE}{22}$ ⇒ DE =$ \frac{22}{6}$ = 3.67 Hence, the correct answer is 3.67 cm.
