उत्तर
Given: ABCD is a parallelogram whose diagonals bisect each other at O.
To show: PQ is bisected at O.
In ΔODP and ΔOBQ,
∠BOQ = ∠POD ...[Since, vertically opposite angles]
∠OBQ = ∠ODP ...[Alternate interior angles]
And OB = OD ...[Given]
∴ ΔODP ≅ ΔOBQ ...[By ASA congruence rule]
∴ OP = OQ ...[By CPCT rule]
So, PQ is bisected at O.
Hence proved.
