उत्तर
Given: ABCD is a parallelogram and AE = CF
To show: OE = OF
Construction: Join BD, meet AC at point O.
Proof: Since, diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
∴ OA = OC
And OD = OB
Now, OA = OC
And AE = CF ...[Given]
⇒ OA – AE = OC – CF
⇒ OE = OF
Thus, BFDE is a quadrilateral whose diagonals bisect each other.
Hence, BFDE is a parallelogram.
Hence proved.
