  1. ABC is an equilateral triangle. Points D, E, F are taken in sides AB, BC, CA respectively, so that AD = CF. Then AE, BF, CD enclosed a triangle which is :
    1. equilateral triangle
    2. isosceles triangle
    3. right angle triangle
    4. None of these
Correct Option: A

On the basis of given in question , we draw a figure of an equilateral triangle ABC ,

∵ AB = BC = AC
∴ AD = BE ⇒ BD = EC = CF = AF
∴ D, E and F are the mid points of AB, BC and CA respectively.

DF || BC and DF =
1
BC
2

EF || AB and EF =
1
AB
2

DE || AC and DE =
1
AC
2

∴ DE = EF = FD
∴ ∆DEF is an equilateral triangle
