⇒ 7x = 28 ⇒ x = 4

Question 2.
Solution:
D and E are the points on the sides AB and AC of ∆ABC respectively and DE || BC,

RS Aggarwal Class 10 Solutions Chapter 4 Triangles Ex 4A 5
By cross multiplication,
⇒ (7x – 4) (3x) = (5x – 2) (3x + 4)
⇒ 21x² – 12x = 15x² + 20x – 6x – 8
⇒ 21x² – 12x – 15x² – 20x + 6x = -8
⇒ 6x² – 26x + 8 = 0
⇒ 3x² – 13x + 4 = 0
⇒ 3x² – 12x – x + 4 = 0
⇒ 3x (x – 4) – 1 (x – 4) = 0
⇒ (x – 4) (3x – 1) = 0
Either x – 4 = 0, then x = 4
or 3x – 1 = 0 then 3x = 1 ⇒ x = \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 }\) which is not possible
x = 4

D is the midpoint of BC.
Proof: BD = DC and OD = DX. (given)
OBXC is a parallelogram. (Diagonals of a ||gm bisect each other)
RS Aggarwal Class 10 Solutions Chapter 4 Triangles Ex 4A 22

Question 11.
Solution:
Given : In ||gm, ABCD, P is mid point of DC and Q is the mid point of AC. Such that
CQ = \(\frac { 1 }{ 4 }\) AC.
PQ is produced to meet BC at R.
To prove : R is the mid point of BC.
Construction : Join BD which intersects AC at O.
RS Aggarwal Class 10 Solutions Chapter 4 Triangles Ex 4A 23
Proof: Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other
CO = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) AC.
But CQ = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) CO (given)
Q is the mid point of CO.
PQ || DO
⇒ PR || DB and P is mid point of CD

Proof: In ∆ABC,
AB = AC,
D and E are the mid points of AB and AC respectively.
RS Aggarwal Class 10 Solutions Chapter 4 Triangles Ex 4A 24
But these are opposite angles of quad. BCED
BCED is a cyclic quadrilateral
Hence, B, C, E and D are concyclic.
