To divide a line segment in the ratio p:q (p,q are integers) a ray AX is drawn so thatdisplaystyle angle BAX is an acute angle and then mark points on ray AX at equal distances such that the minimum number of points is: (A) pq (B) p+q-1 (C) p+q (D) Greater of p and q

answer: c draw the line number of points (equidistant) At the nth point, join the end of line segment. At the beginning of line segment of line segment , draw a line parallel to that from cutting the original line segment The minimum number of points required
