Solution

AD is a median of ∆ABC.
∴ BD = DC
We know that the line drawn through the midpoint of one side of a triangle and parallel to another side bisects the third side.
Here, in ∆ABC, D is the mid point of BC and DE || BA (given). Then DE bisects AC.
i.e., AE = EC
∴ E is the midpoint of AC.
⇒ BE is the median of ∆ABC.
