A

Point F trisect BC

B

Point F bisect BC

C

AB=CD

D

None

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Given ABCD is a trapezium in which `AB||DC and EF||AB||CD`.
Construction Join, the diagonal AC which intersects EF at O.
To show F is the mid-point of BC.

Proof Now, in `Delta`ADC, E is the mid-point of AD and OE`||` CD.
Thus, by mid-point theorem, O is mid-point of AC.
Now, in `Delta`CBA, O is the mid-point of AC and OF `||` AB.
So, by mid-point theorem, F is the mid-point of BC.
