Solution
In ΔBDC and ΔADQ,
CD = DQ ....(given)
∠BDC = ∠ADQ ....(vertically opposite angles)
BD = AD ....(D is the mid-point of AB)
∴ ΔBDC ≅ ΔADQ
⇒ ∠DBC = ∠DAQ (c.p.c.t)....(i)
And, BC = AQ (c.p.c.t)....(ii)
Similarly, we can prove ΔCEB ≅ ΔAEP
⇒ ∠ECB = ∠EAP (c.p.c.t)....(iii)
And, BC = AP (c.p.c.t)....(iv)
From (ii) and (iv),
AQ = AP
⇒ A is the mid-point of PQ.
