Solution

In ∆ PQR,

PQ = 7, PR = 3, QM = 3.5, and MR = 1.5 ...(Given)

`"PQ"/"PR" = 7/3` ...(i)

`"QM"/"MR" = 3.5/1.5 = (3.5 × 10)/(1.5 × 10) = 35/15 = 7/3` ...(ii)

From (i) and (ii)

∴ `"PQ"/"PR" = "QM"/"MR"` 

∴ by converse of angle bisector theorem,

∴ Ray PM is the bisector of ∠QPR.

Proof : 

In ΔABC, ray BD bisects ∠ABC.

∴ `("AB")/("BC") = (......)/(......)`   ......(i) (By angle bisector theorem)

In ΔABC, seg DE || side BC

∴ `("AE")/("EB") = ("AD")/("DC")`   ....(ii) `square`
