Construction

To divide a line segment  AB in the ratio 5 : 6, draw a ray AX such that ∠BAXis  an  acute  angle,  then  draw  a  ray  BY  parallel to AX  and  the  points A₁, A₂, A₃,  …  and  B₁,  B₂,  B₃,  …  are  located  at  equal  distances  on  ray AX and BY, respectively. Then the points joined are

(A) A₅ and B₆ (B) A₆ and B₅ (C) A₄ and B₅ (D) A₅ and B₄
