In the given figure, side BC of a ΔABC is bisected at D
and O is any point on AD. BO and CO produced meet
AC and AB at E and F respectively, and AD is
produced to X so that D is the midpoint of OX.
Prove that AO : AX = AF : AB and show that EF║BC.
उत्तर
It is give that BC is bisected at D.
∴ BD = DC
It is also given that OD =OX
The diagonals OX and BC of quadrilateral BOCX bisect each other.
Therefore, BOCX is a parallelogram.
∴ BO || CX and BX || CO
BX || CF and CX || BE
BX || OF and CX || OE
Applying Thales’ theorem in Δ ABX, we get:
`(AO)/(AX)=(AF)/(AB)` ............(1)
Also, in Δ ACX, CX || OE.
Therefore by Thales’ theorem, we get:
`(AO)/(AX)=(AE)/(AC)` ..................(2)
From (1) and (2), we have:
`(AO)/(AX)=(AE)/(AC)`
Applying the converse of Theorem in Δ ABC, EF || CB.
This completes the proof.
