Solution
(i) Yes
\[\text{ In } ∆ BCO \text{ and } ∆ DCO: \]
\[OC = OC (\text{ common })\]
\[BC = DC (\text{ all sides of a rhombus are equal })\]
\[BO = OD (\text{ diagonals of a rhomus bisect each other })\]
\[\text{ By SSS congruence }: \]
\[ ∆ BCO \cong ∆ DCO\]
Yes
By c.p.c.t:
\[\angle BCO = \angle DCO\]
