Solution

$I n Δ P Q O, D E | | O Q (G i v e n)$

$∴ \frac{P D}{D O} = \frac{P E}{E Q} . . . (i) [B y u s i n g B a s i c P r o p o r t i o n a l i t y T h e o r e m]$

In $Δ P O R, D F | | O R (G i v e n)$

$∴ \frac{P D}{D O} = \frac{P F}{F R} . . . (i i) [B y u s i n g B a s i c P r o p o r t i o n a l i t y T h e o r e m]$

From equation $(i)$ and $(i i)$ , we get,
$\frac{P E}{E Q} = \frac{P F}{F R}$

$S o, Δ P Q R, E F | | Q R [B y c o n v e r s e o f B a s i c P r o p o r t i o n a l i t y T h e o r e m]$
