In figure, if \[\frac{AD}{DC}=\frac{BE}{EC}\] and \[\angle CDE=\angle CED,\] then: |
A) \[\text{BC}=\text{AC}\]
B) \[\text{AB}=\text{AC}\]
C) \[\text{AB}=B\text{C}\]
D) \[CE=DE\]
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
[a] In \[\Delta ABC,\] |
we have \[\frac{AD}{DC}=\frac{BE}{EC}\] (Given) |
Therefore, by the converse of basic proportionality theorem. |
we have. \[DE||AB\] |
\[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\angle CDE=\angle CAB\] |
and \[\angle CED=\angle CBA\] (Corresponding angles) |
But, \[\angle CDE=\angle CED\] (Given) |
\[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\angle CAB=\angle CBA\] |
\[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\angle A=\angle B\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,BC=AC\] |
(Sides opposite to equal angles are equal) |
