Answer:
Option B. 1 : 3
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two triangles shown in the picture attached ΔABC and ΔCD.
In these triangles sides AB and DE are parallel and BC is transverse line so ∠ABC = ∠EDC (corresponding angles)
Similarly AC is transverse to parallel lines AB and DE, so ∠BAC = ∠DEC (corresponding angles)
∠ACB is common in both the triangles.
Therefore ΔABC and ΔDEC are similar.
We know in similar triangles corresponding sides are in the same ratio.
Therefore ratio of y and 12 is equal to 3 : 1
Or ratio of 12 to y is 1 : 3
Option B is the answer.
