with above three statements, the letters are arranged as B < D < A < C
Now plotting on number system :-
B----D--A--C
as can be seen C-A / A - B = 1/3

another rapid method is to test on boundary condition which is x = y, the equation then yields = 5 + 10 = 15, as y > x, the answer will be greater than 15. Now the max value this equation can yield is 30 only when x / (x +y) OR y / (x + y) ae equal to 1. this is clearly not possible as y > x hence s...

to get coordinates.
Divide the difference in y-coordinate i.e (6-0) into 4 parts (3:1) i.e 3/2
Divide the difference in x-coordinate i.e (-5+2) into 4 parts i.e -3/4
To get the actual coordinates, [-2-3/4 , 0+3/2] = [-2.75,1.5)
