In `DeltaPMQ` ray MX is bisector of `/_PMQ`
`:.(square)/(square)=(square)/(square)`
……….(Theorem of angle bisector)……………I
In `DeltaPMR`, ray MY is bisector of `/_PMR`.
`:.(square)/(square)=(square)/(square)`
…………(Theorem of angle bisector ).............II
But `(MP)/(MQ)=(MP)/(MR)M` is the midpoint of QR,
hence `MQ-MR`
`:.(PX)/(XQ)=(PY)/(YR)`
`:.XY||QR`....(Converse of basic proportionality theorem)
