If $C$ is the mid-point of the line segment $AB$ and $L$ is the mid-point of $AC$, then:
  • A
    $\text{AL}=\frac{1}{2}\text{AB}$
  • B
    $\text{AL}=\frac{3}{4}\text{AB}$
  • C
    $\text{AL}=\frac{1}{3}\text{AB}$
  • $\text{AL}=\frac{1}{4}\text{AB}$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$\text{AL}=\frac{1}{4}\text{AB}$
If $C$ is the mid-point of the line segment $AB$, then, $AB = 2AC.$
Now, $L$ is the mid-point of $AC$, then, $AC = 2AL$. This follows that $AB = 4AL.$
Hence, $\text{AL}=\frac{1}{4}\text{AB}.$

If the point P lies in between $M$ and $N, C$ is the mid-point of $MP$ then:
  • A
    $CP + CN = MN$
  • $MC + CN = MN$
  • C
    $MC + PN = MN$
  • D
    $MP + CP = MN$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$MC + CN = MN$
Since, $P$ lies between $M$ and $N, MN = MP + PN$
Now, $C$ is the mid-point of $MP,$
So, $MP = MC + CP$
$⇒ MN = MC + CP + PN$
$⇒ MN = MC + CN (CP + PN = CN).$
