There are two chords AB and CD , which are bisected by the diameter
Since, ON bisects CD, therefore ON is perpendicular to CD
Similarly, OM is perpendicular to AB
To prove that the two chords are parallel we need to show their alternative interior angles are equal
Since, For chord AB and CD , MN act as a transversal and also
Angle AMN = Angle MND ( both are 90 degree)
Hence we can say both Chord AB and CD are parallel to each other.
