Question 91

In what ratio does the point T(x,0) divide the segment joining the points S(-4,-1) and U(1,4)?

(x , y) =  ($$\frac{mx_{2}+nx_{1}}{m+n}$$ , $$\frac{my_{2}+ny_{1}}{m+n}$$)

(x , 0) =  ($$\frac{m-4n}{m+n}$$ , $$\frac{4m+n}{m+n}$$)

4m+n = 0

4m = -n

m/n = -1/4

So the answer is option A.
