Answer
We know that,
If a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle to intersect the other two sides at distinct points, the other two sides are divided in the same ratio.
In Δ ABC,
DE || AC [∵ Given]
………(1)
In Δ ABE,
DF || AE [∵ Given]
……..(2)
From (1) and (2), we get :
Hence, proved that .
