Question: what is the ratio of NP to PR?
The triangles ONP and QNR are similar triangles as the angles are same
Ratio of all corresponding sides are equal in similar triangles and also,
ratio of area of two similar triangles = square of ratio of their corresponding sides
i.e. \(A_1 / A_2 = (S_1 / S_2)^2\)
i.e. we need either ratio of corresponding sides or the ratio of area of the triangles
Statement 1: NR = 10
One side of one triangle is doesn't provide us any informatio of the other triangle hence
NOT SUFFICIENT
Statement 2: The area of ONP is half of the area of QNR.
i.e. \(A_1 / A_2 = (S_1 / S_2)^2 = 1/2\)
i.e. \((S_1 / S_2) = 1/√2\)
i.e. \(NP/PR = S_1 / (S_2 -S_1) = 1/(√2-1)\)
SUFFICIENT
