Solution

The correct options are
B CB=2CF
C CF=FB
Let EF intersect DB at G.

By converse of mid-point theorem, we know that a line drawn through the mid-point of any side of a triangle and parallel to another side, bisect the third side.
In ΔABD, EF || AB and E is the mid-point of AD.
Therefore, G will be the mid-point of DB.
As EF || AB and AB || CD, EF || CD ( two lines parallel to the same line are parallel to each other).
In Δ BCD, GF || CD and G is the mid-point of line BD. Therefore, by using converse of midpoint theorem, F is the mid-point of BC.
