In Fig, ABC is a triangle with \(\angle\)B=90^o, BC=3cm and AB=4 cm. D is point on AC such that AD=1 cm and E is the midpoint of AB. Join D and E and extend DE to meet CB at F. Find BF.

In a garden containing several trees, three particular trees P, Q, R are located in the following way, BP = 2 m, CQ = 3 m, RA = 10 m, PC = 6 m, QA = 5 m, RB = 2 m, where A, B, C are points such that P lies on BC, Q lies on AC and R lies on AB. Check whether the trees P, Q, R lie on a same straight line.
