(N/A) In $\Delta POQ$,$DE \parallel OQ$.
Therefore,$\frac{PE}{EQ} = \frac{PD}{DO}$ (Basic Proportionality Theorem) $...(i)$
In $\Delta POR$,$DF \parallel OR$.
Therefore,$\frac{PF}{FR} = \frac{PD}{DO}$ (Basic Proportionality Theorem) $...(ii)$
From $(i)$ and $(ii)$,we obtain:
$\frac{PE}{EQ} = \frac{PF}{FR}$
Therefore,$EF \parallel QR$ (Converse of Basic Proportionality Theorem).

Nazima is fly fishing in a stream. The tip of her fishing rod is $1.8 \, m$ above the surface of the water and the fly at the end of the string rests on the water $2.4 \, m$ away from a point directly under the tip of the rod. Assuming that her string (from the tip of her rod to the fly) is taut,how much string does she have out? If she pulls in the string at the rate of $5 \, cm$ per second,what will be the horizontal distance of the fly from her after $12 \, seconds$?
