Hi,
===================================
Let ABCD is a parallelogram in which AC and BD are the diagonals that intersect each other at O.
Since ABCD is a ||gm , then AB || CD and AD || BC.
Since AB || CD and AC is a transversal,
BAO = DCO [alternate interior angles] ..........(1)
Since AB || CD and BD is a transversal,
ABO = CDO [alternate interior angles] ...........(2)
In ΔAOB and ΔCOD
BAO = DCO [using (1)]
AB = CD [opposite sides of ||gm are equal]
ABO = CDO [using (2)]
ΔAOB is congruent to ΔCOD by ASA
So, AO = OC and BO = OD [CPCT]
hence the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

hopefully this will help uh ! ...
