Given : D is any point on side AB of ∆ABC and E and F are two points on side BC. line segment DF, DE and AE are drawn.

To prove  : BF/FE= BE/EC

Proof : In ∆BCA,

DE || AC (given)

BE/EC = BD/DA …..(i) (By Basic Prop. Theorem)

Again In ∆BEA, DF || AE (given)

BF/FE = BD/DA …..(ii) (By Basic Prop. Theorem)

From equation (i) and (ii)

BF/FE = BE/EC
