Question : Study the given figure and answer the question that follows. Find the length of AB in the given triangle, if it is given that the length of BD is 4 units.
Option 1: 3
Option 2: 3.5
Option 3: 2.5
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 4
Solution :
From the given figure,
$\triangle$ABC $\sim$ $\triangle$ADE
⇒ $\frac{AD}{AB}=\frac{DE}{BC}$
Let the length of AB = $a$ units
$⇒\frac{AB+BD}{AB}=\frac{DE}{BC}$
$⇒\frac{a+4}{a}=\frac{6}{3}$
$⇒3a+12=6a$
$⇒12=3a$
$\therefore a=4$
Hence, the correct answer is 4.
