Solution



In the IIgm ABCD:AO=OC......(i) (diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other)AE=CF.......(ii) (given)Subtracting (ii) from (i):AO-AE=OC-CFEO=OF......... (iii)In DOE and BOF:EO=OF (proved above)DO=OB (diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other)DOE =BOF (vertically opposite angles)By SAS congruence: DOE BOF DE=BF (c.p.c.t)In BOE and DOF:EO=OF (proved above)DO=OB (diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other)DOF =BOE (vertically opposite angles)By SAS congruence: DOE BOF DF=BE (c.p.c.t)Hence, the pair of opposite sides are equal. Thus, DEBF is a parallelogram.
