Solution

Join PD in the above figure.
It is given that in a parallelogram ABCD. P is the midpoint of AB. CP and BD intersects at each other at point O and we know that the corresponding sides of a parallelogram are proportional , therefore,

ΔPOBΔCOD

Since P is the midpoint of AB thus,

PBCP=OPOC

OPOC=12

OPOC=1:2
