let AB be a line segment
lets assume that there r n midpoints
so n1 = 1/2 AB
n2 =1/2 AB
n3 = 1/2AB n so on.....
so....n1=n2=n3 =......so on.
Hence a line segment has only one and midpoint and its proved

Step-by-step explanation:
Given :-
- Let there be two midpoint C and D.
- C is the midpoint of AB.
To prove :-
Every line segment has one and only one mid-point.
Proof ....
Solution......
Let us assume ,
D be another midpoint of AB.
Therefore AD=DB ................................... Equation (1)
But it is given that C is the midpoint of AB.
Therefore AC = CB.................................. Equation (2)
Subtracting Equation (1) from Equation (2) , we get ...
AC - AD = CB - DB
DC = - DC
2DC =0
DC = 0
Therefore C and D coincides.
Thus , every line segment has one and only one midpoint.
