Q) ramesh is a servant in mrs mehta's house.ramesh's daughter kavita also lives with him.oneday mrsmehta bought a 8m long coloured ribbon for her daughter rajani.after reaching home,she decided to divide it between rajani and kavita in the ratio 5:3.

(A) consider 8m long ribbon as a linesegment of 8cm, and divide it geometrically in the ratio 5:3,

(B) which moral value is depicted by mrs mehta?

To divide a line segment of length 8 cm in the ratio 5:3, we follow the below given steps.

1. We draw a line segment PQ of length 8 cm.

2. Now, we draw a ray PX making an acute angle with PQ and draw a ray QY parallel to PX by making ∠PQY equal to ∠QPX.

3. We locate 5 points P₁, P₂, P_3, P₄, and P₅ on PX and 3 points Q₁, Q₂, and Q₃ on QY such that PP₁ = P₁P₂ = P₂P₃ = P₃P₄ = P₄P₅ = QQ₁ = Q₁Q₂ = Q₂Q₃.

4. Now, we join P₅Q₃ which intersects PQ at R.

Now, R is the point on PQ which divides the line segment PQ in the ratio 5:3.
