Question 11

In a rectangle $$ABCD$$, point $$E$$ lies on $$BC$$ such that $$\frac{BE}{EC}=2$$ and point $$F$$ lies on $$CD$$ such that $$\frac{CF}{FD}=2$$. Lines $$AE$$ and $$AC$$ intersect $$BF$$ at $$X$$ and $$Y$$ respectively. If $$FY:YX:XB=a:b:c$$ are relatively prime positive integers, then the minimum value of $$a+b+c$$ is

Using coordinates for the rectangle and the given division ratios gives the three segments on $$BF$$ in the ratio $$26:29:10$$, which reduces no further. Hence their sum is $$26+29+10=65$$. The published solution for this problem gives the same minimum sum as $$65$$, but the uploaded paper prints the options $$4,8,12,16$$, so the keyed answer cannot be matched to any printed option.
