In ΔABC , DE || AC
$\dfrac{BD}{AD} = \dfrac{BE}{EC}$ .........(i) [By using Basic Proportionality Theorem]
In ΔABE, DF || AE
$\dfrac{BD}{AD} = \dfrac{BF}{FE}$ ........(ii) [By using Basic Proportionality Theorem]
From (i) and (ii)
$\dfrac{BD}{AD} = \dfrac{BE}{EC} = \dfrac{BF}{FE}$
Thus, $\dfrac{BE}{EC} = \dfrac{BF}{FE}$
