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.

Question : In triangle ABC, the bisector of angle BAC cuts the side BC at D. If AB = 10 cm, and AC = 14 cm, then what is BD : DC?
Question : In $\triangle$ABC, the bisector of $\angle$BAC intersects BC at D and the circumcircle of $\triangle$ABC at E. If AB : AD = 3 : 5, then AE : AC is:
Question : In triangle ABC, AD is the angle bisector of angle A. If AB = 8.4 cm, AC = 5.6 cm and DC = 2.8 cm, then the length of side BC will be:
Question : $ABC$ is a triangle and $D$ is a point on the side $BC$. If $BC = 16\mathrm{~cm}$, $BD = 11 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $\angle ADC = \angle BAC$, then the length of $AC$ is equal to:
Question : In a $\triangle$ABC, DE||BC, D and E lie on AB and AC, respectively. If AB = 7 cm and BD = 3 cm, then find BC : DE.
