उत्तर
The figure is shown below
(i) In ΔAQN & ΔBQC
AQ = QB (Given)
∠AQN = ∠BQC
QN = QC
∴ ΔAQN ≅ ΔBQC ...[ by SAS ]
∴ ∠QAN = ∠QBC ...(1)
And BC = AN ……(2)
Similarly, ΔAPM ≅ ΔCPB .....[by SAS]
∠PAM = ∠PCB ...(3) [by CPTC]
And BC = AM ….( 4 )
Now In ΔABC,
∠ABC + ∠ACB + ∠BAC = 180°
∠QAN + ∠PAM + ∠BAC = 180° ...[ (1), (2) we get ]
Therefore M, A, N are collinear.
(ii) From (3) and (4) MA = NA
Hence A is the midpoint of MN.
