Question: A straight line through the origin O meets the parallel lines $ 4x+2y=9 $ and $ 2x+y+6=0 $ at points P and Q respectively. Then the points O divides the segment PQ in the ratio
Options:
A) 1:2
B) 3:4
C) 2:1
D) 4:3
Correct Answer: B Let a line through the origin meets the given lines at E and F as Now triangles OAE and OCF are similar. $ \frac{OE}{OF}=\frac{OA}{OC}=\frac{9/4}{3}=\frac{3}{4} $Show Answer
