    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    When a line segment is divided in the ratio 3:7, it means that the total number of parts into which the segment is divided is the sum of the ratio terms: 3+7=10 So, while constructing the point of division, the line segment is divided into 10 equal parts. The required point of division will be located at the position that corresponds to the third part from one end or the seventh part from the other end.
