i dont have rd sharma so please solve it for me. In a trapezium ABCD, AB ll DC and DC = 2AB. EF ll AB where E and F lie on BC and AD respectively such that BE /EC = 4/3. Diagonal DB intersects EF at G . Prove that 7EF = 11AB.

Dear student
given DC = 2 AB

Draw BH parallel to AD. H will be the middle point of DC as AB = DH.
Sin EF || AB,   FI = AB
The ΔBHC and ΔBIE are similar as the corresponding sides are parallel.
So  IE / HC = BE / BC
      IE = HC * BE / BC 
          = y * 4x/7x = 4 y / 7
EF = FI + IE= y + 4 y /7 = 11 y / 7
so  7 EF = 11 AB
