If point $C$ lies between two points $A$ and $B$ such that $AC = BC$, then:
  • A
    $\text{AC}=\frac{1}{4}\text{AB}$
  • $\text{AC}=\frac{1}{2}\text{AB}$
  • C

  • D
    $\text{AC}=\frac{1}{3}\text{AB}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\text{AC}=\frac{1}{2}\text{AB}$
Point $C$ is the mid point of $AB$. Hence, $AB = AC + BC$ or, $AB = AC + AC = 2AC$ (since, $AC = BC).$
Hence, $\text{AC}=\frac{1}{2}\text{AB}.$
