Question no. 15 From the side PQ of PQR, cut off segment PL = QS. Draw LMQR and STPR. Show that MTPQ.
given,
LM ll QR
& ST ll PR
TO PROVE
MT ll PQ
PL/ LQ = PM / MR [ by BPT theorem as LM is parallel to QR]
&QS/ PS=QT/TR [ by BPT theorem as ST is parallel to PR ]
PL = SQ [ given]
and . PS = SL + PL
PS = SL + SQ [PL = SQ is given]
PS =QL
PL/ QL=QT/TR [ putting the value of SQ and PS ]
and ,
PL/ LQ = PM / MR
therefore,
PM / MR = QT/TR
therefore , MT ll QR by the converse of midpoint theorem
I AM 100% SURE OF MY ANSWER SO PLS THUMBS UP
