Q19 of 46 Page 1

Find the coordinates of a point P on the line segment joining A(1,2) and (6, 7) such that AP = 2/5 AB.

where P lies on the line segments AB.







Hence P divides AB in 2 : 3


Using section formula


i.e. the coordinates of the points P(x, y) which divides the line segment joining the points A(x1, y1) and B(x2,y2), internally in the ratio m : n are

A bag contains, white, black and red balls only. A ball is drawn at random from the bag. If the probability of getting a white ball is 3/10 and that of a black ball is 2/5, then find the probability of getting a red ball. If the bag contains 20 black balls, then find the total number of balls in the bag.
