Detailed Solution

Question ImageLet's assume C to be the mid-point of AB
Thus, AC = BC
Adding AC on both sides, we get
Or, AC + AC = BC + AC (BC + AC coincides to AB)
Or, 2 AC = AB
Or, AC = 12AB-----(1)
Let us consider a point D lying on AB,
Let's assume that D is another mid-point of AB.
Therefore AD = BD
Adding equal length AD on both sides, we get
AD + AD = BD + AD (BD + AD coincides to AB)
Or, 2 AD = AB
Or, AD =12AB------(2)
From equations (1) and (2), we can conclude that AC = AD
Hence the given statement is true.
