Solution
The correct option is DAEED=BFFC In a trapezium ABCD AB∥DC∥EF, WE have to prove, AEED=BFFC Join AC which intersects EF at G Proof IN △CAB,GF∥AB ∴FCBF=CGAG ( Using Thales Theorem) ⇒BFFC=AGCG....(ii) (Taking reciprocals) △ADCEG∥DC ∴AEED=AGGC ....(ii)(By Thales Theorem) From (i) and (ii) we get AEED=BFFC
