  1. In ΔABD,
    E is mid-point of AD [∵ Given]
    and EG ∥ AB [∵ Given]
    Hence, G is mid-point of BD [∵ Converse of Mid-point Theorem]
    Similarly,
    In ΔBCD,
    G is mid-point of BD [∵ Prove above]
    and FG ∥ DC [∵ Given]
    Hence, F is mid-point of BC [∵ Converse of Mid-point Theorem]
