Answer: The correct option is 4th, i.e.,
(7)/(11)= (10)/(AC).

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that ABC is similar to XYC. If BY = 4, YC = 7, XC = 10.

Draw a diagram by using the given information.

From the figure,


BC=BY+YC


BC=4+7


BC=11

If the two triangles are similar then their corresponding sides are is in proportion and the corresponding angle are same.


(YC)/(BC)=(XC)/(AC)


(7)/(11)=(10)/(AC)

Therefore, the correct option is 4th.
