Solution

The correct option is A EF

Given: in figure AB ∥ DE and AC ∥ DF. Also AB = DE and AC = DF

To Prove: BC ∥EF and BC = EF

Proof: in quadrilateral ABED,

AB ∥ DE and AB = DE.

So, ABED is a parallelogram,

AD ∥ BE and AD = BE …..(i)

Now, in quadrilateral ACFD,

AC ∥FD and AC = FD

Thus, ACFD is a parallelogram

AD ∥ CF and AD = CF …(ii)

From eqs (i) and (ii),

AD = BE = CF and CF ∥ BE …….(iii)

Now, in quadrilateral BCFE.

BE = CF [from Eq. (iii)]

So, BCFE Is a parallelogram,

BC = EF and BC ∥ EF
Hence proved.
