Solution
(i) Given: DE || GF
Now, ∠ DEF = ∠ GFM (Corresponding angles as DM is a transversal line)
⇒ 2 ∠ DEG = ∠ DFG (Ray EG and ray FG are bisectors of ∠ DEF and ∠ DFM)
⇒ 2 ∠ DEG = ∠ EDF (∵ ∠ EDF = ∠ DFG, alternate angles as DF is a transversal line)
⇒ ∠ DEG =`1/2` EDF
(ii) Given: DE || GF
∠ DEG = ∠ EGF (Alternate angles as EG is a transversal line)
∴ ∠ GEF = ∠ EGF (∵ ∠ DEG = ∠ GEF)
∴ EF = FG (Sides opposite to equal angles)
