Answer:

The given statement is

In a triangle a segment joining the midpoints of two sides is one-half the length of the third side.

By, considering a Δ ABC and having mid points M and N

Angle A is common.

[tex]\frac{AM}{AB} =\frac{AN}{AC}[/tex]

Δ A MN is similar to ΔABC.⇒[S AS]

As we know by CPCT if two triangles are similar their sides are proportional.

[tex]\frac{AM}{AB} =\frac{AN}{AC}=\frac{MN}{BC}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]  [M and N are mid points of AB and AC]

Out of all five options Option (E) △ABC with midpoints M and N is correct which satisfies the above statement.
