Answer:

S is closest to B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a directed line segment from point A to B.

Point P divides the line A to B in a ratio 3:4.

Point Q divides the line A to B in a ratio 4:3.

Point R divides the line A to B in a ratio 2:5.

Point S divides the line A to B in a ratio 5:2.

To find:

The point which is closest to the point B.

Solution:

Here, to find the point closest to B we need to find the distances PB, QB, RB and SB.

We can see the sum of ratio 3:4, 4:3, 2:5 and 5:2 is 7.

Let the distance between A and B be 7 units.

Now, the distances can be found easily.

PB = \dfrac{4}{7}\times 7 = 4\ units

QB = \dfrac{3}{7}\times 7 = 3\ units

RB = \dfrac{5}{7}\times 7 = 5\ units

SB = \dfrac{2}{7}\times 7 = 2\ units

The point which has the minimum distance from point B, will be nearest to B.

We can clearly observe that SB is the minimum distance.

Therefore, <em>S is closest to B</em>.
