Answer:
A rhombus ABCD. AC & BD diagonals meet at P.
Since , ABCD is a rhombus
=> AC & BD diagonals are perpendicular bisectors to each other.
Point O is given inside ABCD, such that OD = OB.
TO PROVE: AOC is a straight line.
PROOF: Since O is equidistant from D & B
=> O lies on the perpendicular bisector of segment joining D & B ie segment DB.
And P also lies on the perpendicular bisector of DB.
=> OP is the perpendicular bisector of DB.
But, given that AP is perpendicular bisector of DB.
=> OP coincides with AC ( as a segment can not have 2 distinct perpendicular bisectors)
=> A,O,P,C are collinear.
Hence, AOC is a straight line
