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]

BDAD=BEEC\therefore \dfrac{BD}{AD} = \dfrac{BE}{EC} ………(1)

In Δ ABE,

DF || AE [∵ Given]

BDAD=BFFE\therefore \dfrac{BD}{AD} = \dfrac{BF}{FE} ……..(2)

From (1) and (2), we get :

BEEC=BFFE\Rightarrow \dfrac{BE}{EC} = \dfrac{BF}{FE}

Hence, proved that BFFE=BEEC\dfrac{BF}{FE} = \dfrac{BE}{EC}.
