In the figure above, the length of line A B is 2x and the length of line B C is 3x. If a point ischosen at random from line A C, what is the probability that the point will lie on line B C?
(A) 2/5
(B) 1/2
(C) 3/5
(D) 2/3
(E) 5/6
答案:C
解析:
The probability that a point chosen from line A C willlie on line B C is the ratio of the length of line B C tothe length of line A C. The length of line A B is 2xand the length of line B C is 3x, so the length of lineA C is 5x. Therefore, the ratio of the length of line B C to the length of line A C is (3x)/(5x) = 3/5.
