  1. PQ = 12.5 cm PA = 5 cm BR = 6 cm PB = 4 cm

    Then, QA = QP – PA = 12.5 – 5 = 7.5 cm

    So, PA/AQ = 5/7.5 = 50/75 = 2/3 … (i) PB/BR = 4/6 = 2/3 … (ii)

    Form Equations (i) and (ii).

    PA/AQ = PB/BR

    We know that, if a line divides any two sides of a triangle in the same ratio, then the line is parallel to the third side.

    Therefore, AB || QR.
