D and E are mid-points of sides AB and AC respectively of the ΔABC. A line drawn from A meets BC at H and DE at K.
AK : KH = ??
D and E are mid-points of sides AB and AC respectively of the ΔABC
$$=$$> DE is parallel to BC
AB = 2AD and AC = 2AE
In ΔABC and ΔADE
$$\angle$$ABC = $$\angle$$ADE
$$\angle$$ACB = $$\angle$$AED
$$\angle$$A is the common angle
$$=$$> ΔABC is similar to ΔADE
$$=$$> $$\frac{AB}{AD}=\frac{AH}{AK}=\frac{AC}{AE}$$
$$=$$> $$\frac{AB}{AD}=\frac{AH}{AK}$$
$$=$$> $$\frac{2AD}{AD}=\frac{AK+KH}{AK}$$
$$=$$> 2AK = AK + KH
$$=$$> AK = KH
$$=$$> AK : KH = 1 : 1
Hence, the correct answer is Option D
