Question

Solve the following :
In $$\Delta PQR , \, NM || RQ$$. If $$PM = 15, MQ = 10, NR = 8$$, then find $$PN$$.

Solution
Verified by Toppr

Given $$\, NM || RQ$$ and $$PM = 15, MQ = 10, NR = 8$$

since $$\, NM || RQ$$ then by basic proportionality theorem

$$\dfrac {PN}{NR}=\dfrac {PM}{MQ}$$

$$\dfrac {PN}{8}=\dfrac {15}{10}$$

$$PN=\dfrac {15}{10}\times 8$$

$$PN=\dfrac 32 \times 8$$

$$\therefore\ PN=12$$
