In ∆ABC, AD is median.
∴ BD = DC
We know that the line drawn through the midpoint of one side of a triangle and parallel to another side bisects the third side.
So, in ∆ABC, D is the mid point of BC and DE || BA.
Hence, DE bisects AC.
∴ AE = EC
This means that E is the midpoint of AC.
∴ BE is median of ∆ABC.
