Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Given, equation of line 
and co-ordinates of points 
and 
. We know that if the ratio in which a line 
is divided by points 
and 
is 
, then intersecting point 
lies on 
. Thus any point on the line joining 
and 
dividing it in the ratio 
is 
and if it lies on 
then 
or 
or 
i.e. ratio is 
.
