To construct a triangle similar to a given $\triangle ABC$ with its sides being $\frac{8}{5}$ of the corresponding sides of $\triangle ABC$,a ray $BX$ is drawn such that $\angle CBX$ is an acute angle and $X$ is on the opposite side of $A$ with respect to $BC$. The minimum number of points to be located at equal distances on ray $BX$ is

  • A
    $5$

To construct a triangle similar to a given $\triangle ABC$ with its sides $\frac{7}{3}$ of the corresponding sides of $\triangle ABC$,draw a ray $BX$ making an acute angle with $BC$ and $X$ lies on the opposite side of $A$ with respect to $BC$. The points $B_{1}, B_{2}, \dots, B_{7}$ are located at equal distances on $BX$,$B_{3}$ is joined to $C$ and then a line segment $B_{6}C'$ is drawn parallel to $B_{3}C$ where $C'$ lies on $BC$ produced. Finally,line segment $A'C'$ is drawn parallel to $AC$.
