In Fig. 4.71, if , find the value of x.

AO/OC=BO/OD

3x-1/5x-3=2x+1/6x-5


(3x-1)(6x-5)= (2x+1) (5x-3)


18x2-15x-6x+5=10x2-6x+5x-3


18x2-21x+5=10x2-x-3


18x2-21x+5-10x2+x+3=0


8x2-20x+8=0


4(2x2-5x+2)=0


2x2-5x+2=0


2x2-4x-x+2=0


2x(x-2)-1(x-2)=0


(x-2)(2x-1)=0


x-2=0


x=2


Or, 2x-1=0


2x=1


x=1/2


But x=1/2 is not possible


So x=2
