$${PA}=\sqrt{\left({a}+{b}−\mathrm{4}{b}+\mathrm{2}{a}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\left(\mathrm{9}{c}−{a}−\mathrm{3}{c}−\mathrm{5}{a}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$$=\mathrm{3}\sqrt{\left({a}−{b}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{4}\left({a}−{c}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$${PB}=\sqrt{\left(\mathrm{4}{b}−\mathrm{2}{a}−\mathrm{5}{b}+\mathrm{3}{a}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\left(\mathrm{9}{c}−{a}−\mathrm{11}{c}+\mathrm{3}{a}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$$=\sqrt{\left({a}−{b}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{4}\left({a}−{c}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\frac{\mid{PA}\mid}{\mid{PB}\mid}\:=\mathrm{3} \\ $$

$${let}\:{PA}:{PB}={m}:{n} \\ $$$$\frac{{m}\left(\mathrm{5}{b}−\mathrm{3}{a}\right)+{n}\left({a}+{b}\right)}{{m}+{n}}=\mathrm{4}{b}−\mathrm{2}{a} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{m}\left(\mathrm{5}{b}−\mathrm{3}{a}\right)−{m}\left(\mathrm{4}{b}−\mathrm{2}{a}\right) \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:={n}\left(\mathrm{4}{b}−\mathrm{2}{a}\right)−{n}\left({a}+{b}\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{m}\left({b}−{a}\right)={n}×\mathrm{3}\left({b}−{a}\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{m}:{n}=\mathrm{3}:\mathrm{1}\:\:\:\left[{when}\:{a}\neq{b}\right] \\ $$
