PQ=1/2 BC

The line segment joining the mid-points of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and is half the third side.
mathslover (mathslover):
Its not here. (Exactly) ...
\(\cfrac{AP}{PB} = \cfrac{1}{2} \)
And we have condition in mid points theorem, that P must be the mid point of AB.
And here, its not so. So, here we will apply a bit diff. method.

Are you sure for the question that it is AP/PB = 1/2 ?
