Option 3 : Both 1 and 2
Construct a perpendicular from A to the line CF, Let it meet BE at O and CF at P
Similarly a perpendicular from D is drawn to the line CF, let it meet BE and CF at R and S
In triangle ABO and ACP
∠A is common and ∠O = ∠P = 90°
ABO ∼ ACP
∴ AB/AC = AO/AP
In triangle DRE and DSF
∠D is common and ∠R = ∠S = 90°
DRE ∼ DSF
∴ DE/DF = DR/DS
Parallel lines are equally spaced
∴ AO = DR and AP = DS
∴ AB/AC = DE/DF
So statement 1 is correct
AB/ (AC - AB) = DE/ (DF - DE)
AB/BC = DE/EF
∴ AB × EF = BC × DE
So statement 2 is also correct
