Detailed Solution

Given a figure in which AD is the median and DE || AB.
In triangle ABC,AD is the median and DE, drawn parallel to side BA, meets  AC at point E. Show that BE is also a median.As, AD is the median, BD = DC.
Now, as by mid-point theorem, the straight line drawn through the midpoint of one side of a triangle parallel to another bisects the third side.
As, DE is the bisector on side AC so, AE = EC.
Hence, BE is median.
Given statement is true.
Therefore, option 1 is correct.
