Given, Quadrilateral ABCD where AC and BD intersects each other at O such that,
AO/BO = CO/DO.
Ncert solutions class 10 chapter 6-13
We have to prove here, ABCD is a trapezium
From the point O, draw a line EO touching AD at E, in such a way that,
EO || DC || AB
In ΔDAB, EO || AB
Therefore, By using Basic Proportionality Theorem
DE/EA = DO/OB ………(i)
Also, given,
AO/BO = CO/DO
⇒ AO/CO = BO/DO
⇒ CO/AO = DO/BO
⇒DO/OB = CO/AO …………..(ii)
From equation (i) and (ii), we get
DE/EA = CO/AO
Therefore, By using converse of Basic Proportionality Theorem,
EO || DC also EO || AB
⇒ AB || DC.
Hence, quadrilateral ABCD is a trapezium with AB || CD.
