  1. ABCD is a rhombus. AB is produced to F and BA is produced to E such that AB = AE = BF. Then :
    1. ED > CF
    2. ED ⊥ CF
    3. ED² + CF² = EF²
    4. ED || CF
Correct Option: B

According to question , we draw a figure of rhombus ABCD

We know that diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular bisector of each other.
∴ OA = OC; OB = OD
∠AOD = ∠COD = 90°
∠AOB = ∠COB = 90°
In ∆ BDE,
OA || DE
⇒ OC || DG
In ∆CFA,
OB || CF
⇒ OD || GC
In quadrilateral DOCG ,
OC || DG
⇒ OD || GC
∴ DOCG is a parallelogram.
∴ ∠DGC = ∠DOC
⇒ ∠DGC = 90°
EG ⊥ GF or ED ⊥ CF
