Point cap p partitions the directed segment from cap A to cap b into a ratio of 1 to 3 ratio. cap q partitions the directed segment from cap b to cap A into a ratio of 1 to 3 ratio. Are cap p and cap q the same point? Why or why not?

A
Yes, they are both 1 fourth the distance from one endpoint to the other.
B
No, cap p is 1 fourth the distance from cap A to cap b , and cap q is 1 fourth the distance from cap b to cap A .
C
Yes, they both partition the segment into a ratio of 1 to 3 ratio.
D
No, cap q is closer to cap A and cap p is closer to cap b .
