Given:D, E, F are the mid-point of the sides BC, CA and AB respectively of Δ ABC.
To prove : Δ DEF is congruent to triangle
Proof:
Since E and F are the midpoints of AC and AB.
BC||FE & FE= ½ BC= BD
(By mid point theorem)
BD || FE & BD= FE
Similarly, BF||DE & BF= DE
Hence, BDEF is a parallelogram
[A pair of opposite sides are equal and parallel]
Similarly, we can prove that FDCE & AFDE are also parallelograms.
Now, BDEF is a parallelogram so its diagonal FD divides its into two Triangles of equal areas.
∴ ar(ΔBDF) = ar(ΔDEF) — (i)
In Parallelogram AFDE
ar(ΔAFE) = ar(ΔDEF) (EF is a diagonal) — (ii)
In Parallelogram FDCE
ar(ΔCDE) = ar(ΔDEF) (DE is a diagonal) — (iii)
From (i), (ii) and (iii)
ar(ΔBDF) = ar(ΔAFE) = ar(ΔCDE) = ar(ΔDEF).....(iv)
If area of ∆'s are equal then they are congruent.
Hence , Δ DEF is congruent to triangle ΔBDF = ΔAFE = ΔCDE.
Among the given options option (D) AFE, BFD, CDE is correct.

Given : D,E,F are the midpoints of the sides BC , CA , AB respectively of triangle ABC
To Find : Δ DEF is congruent to triangle
Solution:
Line joining the mid point of two sides of a triangle is half of third side
D is mid point of side BC & E is mid point of side CA
hence DE = AB/2
E is mid point of side CA & F is mid point of AB
=> EF = BC/2
D is mid point of side BC & F is mid point of AB
=> DF = AC/2
=> DE/AB = EF/BC = DF/AC = 1/2
Two triangles having corresponding sides proportional are similar
=> ΔDEF ≈ Δ ABC
ΔDEF & ΔAFE
EF = EF
DE = AF ( DE = AB/2 , AF = AB/2)
DF = AE ( DF = AC/2 , AE = AC/2)
=> ΔDEF ≅ ΔAFE
Similarly ΔDEF ≅ ΔFBD
ΔDEF ≅ ΔEDC
ΔDEF ≅ ΔAFE ≅ ΔFBD , ≅ ΔEDC
