    In the given figure of \[\Delta ABC\],\[DE||AC\]. If\[DC||AP\], where point P lies on BC produced, then \[\frac{BE}{EC}\]=
     

    A) \[\frac{BD}{CP}\]

    B) \[\frac{BC}{CP}\]

    C) \[\frac{BC}{DA}\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given, in \[\Delta ABC,\,\,DE\,|\,\,|\,\,AC\] So, \[\frac{BE}{EC}=\frac{BD}{DA}\]                                        … (i) [by basic proportionality theorem] Also, in \[\Delta ABP\], \[DC\,|\,|\,AP\]                          [given] So, \[\frac{BC}{EC}=\frac{BC}{CP}\]                                        … (ii) [by basic proportionality theorem] From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get \[\frac{BE}{EC}=\frac{BC}{CP}\]
