Let PQ is a line passing through the midpoint of line AB and parallel to line BC intersecting line AC at point Q.

i.e.PQ||BC   and   AP=PB.

Using basic proportionality theorem, we have

\frac{AP}{PB}=\frac{AQ}{QC}..........................1

Since AP=PB

\frac{AQ}{QC}=\frac{1}{1}

\Rightarrow AQ=QC

\therefore Q is the midpoint of AC.
