Correct Answer: 5 : 7
Solution :
The angle bisector of a triangle divides the opposite side into two parts proportional to the other two sides of the triangle.
According to the concept,
$\frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{BD}{DC}$
⇒ $\frac{10}{14} = \frac{BD}{DC}$
⇒ $\frac{5}{7} = \frac{BD}{DC}$
$\therefore BD:DC=5:7$
Hence, the correct answer is 5 : 7.
