Q5:

In Fig. 6.20, $DE \parallel OQ$ and $DF \parallel OR$. Show that $EF \parallel QR$.

Solution :

Given: In $\triangle PQR$, we have points $D, E,$ and $F$ on sides $PQ, PR,$ and $QR$ respectively (based on the standard configuration of this theorem). Specifically, $DE \parallel OQ$ and $DF \parallel OR$, where $O$ is a point inside the triangle.

To Prove: $EF \parallel QR$.

P Q R O D E F

Step 1: Applying Thales Theorem (Basic Proportionality Theorem) in $\triangle POQ$

We are given that $DE \parallel OQ$. According to the Basic Proportionality Theorem (BPT), if a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle to intersect the other two sides in distinct points, the other two sides are divided in the same ratio.

In $\triangle POQ$, since $DE \parallel OQ$:

$\frac{PD}{DQ} = \frac{PE}{EO}$ --- (Equation 1) [By Basic Proportionality Theorem]

Step 2: Applying Thales Theorem in $\triangle POR$

We are given that $DF \parallel OR$. Applying the Basic Proportionality Theorem in $\triangle POR$:

$\frac{PD}{DQ} = \frac{PF}{FR}$ --- (Equation 2) [By Basic Proportionality Theorem]

Step 3: Comparing the Equations

From Equation 1 and Equation 2, we observe that the left-hand side (LHS) of both equations is identical ($\frac{PD}{DQ}$). Therefore, we can equate the right-hand sides (RHS):

$\frac{PE}{EO} = \frac{PF}{FR}$ --- (Equation 3) [By Euclid's Axiom: Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to one another]

Step 4: Applying the Converse of the Basic Proportionality Theorem

In $\triangle PQR$, we have established that $\frac{PE}{EO} = \frac{PF}{FR}$.

According to the Converse of the Basic Proportionality Theorem, if a line divides any two sides of a triangle in the same ratio, then the line is parallel to the third side.

Since $\frac{PE}{EO} = \frac{PF}{FR}$ in $\triangle PQR$, it follows that the line segment $EF$ must be parallel to the base $QR$.

Therefore, $EF \parallel QR$.

Final Answer: Since the ratios of the segments on sides $PQ$ and $PR$ are equal, by the converse of the Basic Proportionality Theorem, $EF \parallel QR$.

I am a teacher of Mathematics and Physics. I have been teaching since my college days. After completing my college I ran a coaching institute in my home town Nainital. During that time I got selected in Income Tax department through Staff Selection Commission. As teaching has always been my passion so I continued teaching students online. Currently, I give tuitions to CBSE/ICSE students of Class IX & X on one-on-one and batch bases. I prepare students for competitive Exams like SSC CGL, Banks, Railways etc. Since Mathematics and Science of IX & X standard play a significant role in cracking competitive exams. Every student no matter from what stream has to face that competition in future. Therefore, I prepare and polish student in a way which help them a lot in a future of competitive environment. Apart from this I also take classes for Vedic Maths and Fast calculating tricks.

Akshay is an excellent teacher. He has taught my son in 10 th standard science , with which he understood the concepts clearly and he also gave so many past question papers for my son to work out, all these made my son score 95 in board exams . I would definitely recommend Akshay for students who want to improve and get good scores in science .
