In the given figure, $\displaystyle \mathrm{DE} \| \mathrm{AC}$ and $\displaystyle \mathrm{DF} \| \mathrm{AE}$. Prove that : $\displaystyle \frac{\mathrm{BF}}{\mathrm{FE}}=\frac{\mathrm{BE}}{\mathrm{EC}}$.

Marking-scheme solution
In \(\displaystyle \triangle \mathrm{BEA}, \mathrm{FD} \| \mathrm{EA}\)
\[\therefore \frac{\mathrm{BF}}{\mathrm{FE}}=\frac{\mathrm{BD}}{\mathrm{DA}}
\]
In \(\displaystyle \triangle \mathrm{BCA}, \mathrm{ED} \| \mathrm{CA}\)
\[\therefore \frac{\mathrm{BE}}{\mathrm{EC}}=\frac{\mathrm{BD}}{\mathrm{DA}}
\]
Using (i) and (ii)
\[\frac{\mathrm{BF}}{\mathrm{FE}}=\frac{\mathrm{BE}}{E C}
\]
