In the given figure,$l \parallel m$ and $M$ is the mid-point of a line segment $AB$. Show that $M$ is also the mid-point of any line segment $CD,$ having its end points on $l$ and $m,$ respectively.

(N/A) In $\triangle AMC$ and $\triangle BMD$,we have:
$\angle MAC = \angle MBD$ (Alternate interior angles,since $l \parallel m$)
$\angle AMC = \angle BMD$ (Vertically opposite angles)
$AM = BM$ (Given,as $M$ is the mid-point of $AB$)
Therefore,$\triangle AMC \cong \triangle BMD$ (By $ASA$ congruence rule)
Thus,$CM = DM$ (By $CPCT$)
Hence,$M$ is also the mid-point of $CD.$

$ABC$ is an isosceles triangle with $AB = AC$ and $D$ is a point on $BC$ such that $AD \perp BC$. To prove that $\angle BAD = \angle CAD$,a student proceeded as follows:
In $\triangle ABD$ and $\triangle ACD$:
$AB = AC$ (Given)
$\angle B = \angle C$ (because $AB = AC$)
and $\angle ADB = \angle ADC$
Therefore,$\triangle ABD \cong \triangle ACD$ $(AAS)$
So,$\angle BAD = \angle CAD$ $(CPCT)$
What is the defect in the above arguments?

$D$ is a point on the side $BC$ of a $\triangle ABC$ such that $AD$ bisects $\angle BAC$. Then
