When three parallel lines are cut by two transversals and the intercepts made by the first transversal are in the ratio 3:5, then the intercepts made by the second transversal are in the ratio _______.

Correct option is A

Given:

- Three parallel lines are cut by two transversals.

- The intercepts made by the first transversal are in the ratio 3:5.

Concept Used:

When three parallel lines are cut by two transversals, the intercepts made by the transversals are proportional.

Hence, the ratio of intercepts made by the second transversal will be the same as the ratio made by the first transversal.

Solution:

Let the intercepts made by the first transversal be in the ratio 3:5.

Since the parallel lines are cut by two transversals, the intercepts made by the second transversal will also be in the same ratio.

Therefore, the intercepts made by the second transversal will be in the ratio 3:5 as well.

The intercepts made by the second transversal are in the ratio 3:5.
