Let \(A B C\) be a triangle. Let \(u=\mathbf{A B}\) and \(v=\mathbf{A C}\). If \(D\) is a middle point of \(B C\), then \(\mathbf{A D}=\)

  1. A \(\frac{u-v}{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{v-u}{2}\)
  3. C \(\frac{u+v}{2}\)
  4. D \(u+v\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{u+v}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If in a \(\triangle A B C, \mathbf{A B}=\mathbf{u}\) and \(\mathbf{A C}=\mathbf{v}\) and \(D\) is mid-point of \(B\) and \(C\), then \(\mathbf{A D}=\frac{\mathbf{A B}+\mathbf{A C}}{2}=\frac{\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v}}{2}.\quad \{\text{mid-point formula} \}\)
