उत्तर
We have, DE || BC, AB = 6 cm and AE `= 1/4` AC
In ΔADE and ΔABC
∠A = ∠A [Common]
∠ADE = ∠ABC [Corresponding angles]
Then, ΔADE ~ ΔABC [By AA similarity]
`rArr"AD"/"AB"="AE"/"AC"` [Corresponding parts of similar Δ are proportional]
`rArr"AD"/6=(1/4AC)/"AC"` [∵ AE `=1/4` AC given]
`"AD"/6=1/4`
`rArr"AD"=6/4=1.5` cm
