Answer 1

its obiously 1 in my view

Answer 2

Answer: The correct option is

(D) 11.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the length of the line segment AP, if AB = 38 units and PB = 27 units.

From the figure, we note that

the line segment AB is divided by the point P into two parts AP and PB.

So, we must have

`AB=AP+PB\\\\\Rightarrow 38=AP+27\\\\\Rightarrow AP=38-27\\\\\Rightarrow AP=11.`

Thus, the length of the line segment AP is 11 units.

Option (D) is CORRECT.
