Given, in ΔABC, D is the midpoint of AB such that AD=DB.

A line parallel to BC intersects AC at E as shown in above figure such that DE || BC.

We have to prove that E is the mid point of AC.

Since, D is the mid-point of AB.

∴ AD=DB

⇒AD/DB = 1 …………………. (i)

In ΔABC, DE || BC,

By using Basic Proportionality Theorem,

Therefore, AD/DB = AE/EC

From equation (i), we can write,

⇒ 1 = AE/EC

∴ AE = EC

Hence, proved, E is the midpoint of AC.
