उत्तर

Given: In a ∆ABC, AD is a median and E is the mid-point of AD.

Construction: Draw DP || EF.

Proof: In ∆ADP, E is the mid-point of AD and EF || DP.

So, F is mid-point of AP.  ...[By converse of mid-point theorem]


In ∆FBC, D is mid-point of BC and DP || BF.

So, P is mid-point of FC

Thus, AF = FP = PC

∴ AF = `1/3` AC

Hence proved.
