Detailed Solution

Given that AD is a median of ΔABC and E is the midpoint of side AD. BE is joined and produced such that it meets AC in F.
Let G be the midpoint of CF and then join DG.
Question ImageConsider the ΔBCF  , G is the mid-point of FC and we are given that D is the midpoint of BC.
Thus, DG|| BF  .
In Δ ADG,   E is the midpoint of AD.
Also, EF is parallel to DG.
Thus, F is the mid-point of AG.
AF = FG FG = GC          [As G is the mid-point of FC]
Thus, side AC is divided into three equal parts.
Hence, AF= 1 3 AC  .
So, option 2 is the correct choice.
