Question

In △XYZ, if XY = 5 cm, XZ = 7 cm and Q is a point on YZ such that XQ bisects ∠X, then YQ : QZ is:

A.

5 : 7

B.

7 : 12

C.

7 : 5

D.

5 : 12

Correct option is A

Given:
△XYZ with XY = 5 cm and XZ = 7 cm.
Q is a point on YZ such that XQ bisects ∠X.
Concept Used:
According to the Angle Bisector Theorem, if a point Q lies on side YZ of △XYZ such that XQ bisects ∠X, then:
YQQZ=XYXZ\frac{YQ}{QZ} = \frac{XY}{XZ}​​
Solution:  
Substituting the values of XY and XZ:
YQQZ=57\frac{YQ}{QZ} = \frac{5}{7}​​
Thus, The ratio YQ : QZ is 5 : 7.
