Question

In triangle ABC. D and E are points on side AB such that AD=DE=EB. Through D and E, lines are drawn parallel to BC which meet side AC at points F and G respectively. Through F and G lines are drawn parallel to AB which meet side BC at points M and N respectively.
State whether true or false BM=MN=NC.( Enter 1 if true or 0 otherwise)

Solution
Verified by Toppr

Given: ABC, D and E are points on AB, such that, AD=DE=EB and F and G are points on AC such that, DFEGBC
Also, M and N are points on BC such that FMGMAB
Now, DFEGBC
hence, by basic proportionality theorem
AD:DE:EB=AF:FG:GC
Hence, AF=FG=GC
Similarly, GNFMAB
Hence, by basic proportionality theorem
AF:FG:GC=BM:MN:NC
hence, BM=MN=NC
