Answer ( 1 )
Ans: c
we know that,
When a line is drawn parallel to
one side of a triangle to intersect
the other two sides in distinct
points, then the other two sides are
divided in the same ratio.
given that,
DE || AB .
so,
→ CD / DA = CE / EB
putting values we get,
→ 3 / DA = 4 / 6
→ 3 / DA = 2 / 3
→ 2DA = 3 * 3
→ DA = 9 / 2
