Given:
Point P is Nine-elevenths of the distance from M to N.
To find:
The ratio in which point P partition the directed line segment from M to N.
Solution:
It is given that, point P is Nine-elevenths of the distance from M to N. So,
[tex]\dfrac{MP}{MN}=\dfrac{9}{11}[/tex]
It can be written as
[tex]\dfrac{MP}{MN}=\dfrac{9}{11}[/tex]
Let the lengths of MP and MN are 9x and 11x respectively. Then,
[tex]PN=MN-MP[/tex]
[tex]PN=11x-9x[/tex]
[tex]PN=2x[/tex]
Now,
[tex]\dfrac{MP}{PN}=\dfrac{9x}{2x}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{MP}{PN}=\dfrac{9}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{MP}{PN}=9:2[/tex]
It means, point P divides the line segment MN in 9:2.
Therefore, the correct option is A.
