Solution

The correct option is C
$\frac{B C}{C P}$

In the given figure,

DE||AC and DC||AP

To prove: $\frac{B E}{E C} = \frac{B C}{C P}$

Proof: In $Δ B C A$

ED||CA

$∴ \frac{B E}{E C} = \frac{B D}{D A}$ ....(i)

Similarly in $Δ B P A$

DC||AP

$∴ \frac{B C}{C P} = \frac{B D}{D A}$ ......(ii)

From (i) and (ii),

$\frac{B E}{E C} = \frac{B C}{C P}$
