Question drawn from very renowned book RD sharma of class 10th, Chapter no. 4
Chapter name:- Triangles
Exercise :- 4.2
This is very important question of triangle.

In this question we have three-line segments OA, OB, and OC,  and points L, M, N respectively

And they are chosen that in such a way that LM ∥ AB and MN ∥ BC but neither of L, M, and N nor A, B, C are collinear.

Now we have to Show that LN ∥ AC by using triangle geometrical properties.

  1. Given : 

    OA, OB and OC, points are L, M, and N respectively

    Such that LM || AB and MN || BC

    To prove: LN ∥ AC

    Now,

    In ΔOAB, Since, LM ∥ AB,

    Then, OL/LA = OM/ MB (By using BPT)           – equation 1

    In ΔOBC, Since, MN ∥ BC

    Then, OM/MB = ON/NC        (By using BPT)

    Therefore, ON/NC = OM/ MB                                        – equation 2

    From equation 1 and 2, we get

    OL/LA = ON/NC

    Therefore, In ΔOCA By converse BPT, we get

    LN || AC

    Hence proved
