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 $\frac{3}{5}$ of way from point A to point B.
