Question 26 (B) In π›₯ABC, P and Q are points on AB and AC respectively such that PQ is parallel to BC. Prove that the median AD drawn from A on BC bisects PQ. We need to prove R is mid-point of PQ i.e. PR = RQ Since PQ βˆ₯ BC And AB is transversal ∠ APR = ∠ ABD Similarly, PQ βˆ₯ BC And AC is transversal ∠ AQR = ∠ ACD In Ξ” APR & Ξ” ABD ∠ PAR = ∠ BAD ∠ APR = ∠ ABD Ξ” APR ~ Ξ” ABD Since ratio of sides of similar triangle are equal 𝑨𝑷/𝑨𝑩=𝑷𝑹/𝑩𝑫 In Ξ” AQR & Ξ” ACD ∠ QAR = ∠ CAD ∠ AQR = ∠ ACD Ξ” AQR ~ Ξ” ACD Since ratio of sides of similar triangle are equal 𝑨𝑸/𝑨π‘ͺ=𝑸𝑹/π‘ͺ𝑫 Also, In Ξ” APQ & Ξ” ABC ∠ APQ = ∠ ABC ∠ AQP = ∠ ACB Ξ” APQ ~ Ξ” ABC Since ratio of sides of similar triangle are equal 𝑨𝑷/𝑨𝑩=𝑨𝑸/𝑨π‘ͺ And from (1) and (2) 𝑨𝑷/𝑨𝑩=𝑷𝑹/𝑩𝑫 & 𝑨𝑸/𝑨π‘ͺ=𝑸𝑹/π‘ͺ𝑫 From (1), (2) and (3) 𝑷𝑹/𝑩𝑫=𝑸𝑹/π‘ͺ𝑫 Since BD = CD given 𝑃𝑅/𝐡𝐷=𝑄𝑅/𝐡𝐷 PR = QR Hence proved
