  1. (i) ∠DAC = ∠BAC …(1) [∵ Given]
    ∠DAC = ∠BCA …(2) [∵ Alternate angle]
    ∠BAC = ∠ACD …(3) [∵Alternate angles]
    From the equations (1), (2) and (3), we have
    ∠ACD = ∠BCA …(4)
    Hence, Diagonal AC bisects angle C also.
    (ii) From the equation (2) and (4), we have
    ∠ACD = ∠DAC
    In ΔADC,
    ∠ACD = ∠DAC [∵ Prove above]
    AD = DC [∵ In a triangle, the sides opposite to equal angle are equal]
    A parallelogram whose adjacent sides are equal, is a rhombus. Hence, ABCD is a rhombus.

  2. If the diagonal AC of a parallelogram ABCD bisects ∠A, then ∠DAC = ∠BAC. Using alternate interior angles (∠DAC = ∠BCA and ∠BAC = ∠DCA), it follows that ∠BCA = ∠DCA, so AC also bisects ∠C. Additionally, since ∠DAC = ∠BAC, then ∠DCA = ∠BCA, which means DA = DC, and because opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal, AB = BC = CD = DA, making ABCD a rhombus.
    Step-by-step explanation:
    Given: Parallelogram ABCD, and diagonal AC bisects ∠A. This means ∠DAC = ∠BAC.
    Alternate Interior Angles:
    Since AB is parallel to CD, with AC as a transversal, then ∠DAC = ∠BCA (alternate interior angles).
    Since AD is parallel to BC, with AC as a transversal, then ∠BAC = ∠DCA (alternate interior angles).
    Bisecting ∠C:
    From the given condition, ∠DAC = ∠BAC.
    From the alternate interior angles, we have ∠DAC = ∠BCA and ∠BAC = ∠DCA.
    Therefore, by substitution, ∠DCA = ∠BCA.
    This proves that AC bisects ∠C.
    Proving it’s a Rhombus:
    From step 3, we found ∠DCA = ∠BCA.
    Also, we know ∠DCA = ∠BAC and ∠BCA = ∠DAC.
    This means ∠DAC = ∠BAC = ∠BCA = ∠DCA.
    Consider triangle ADC. Since ∠DAC = ∠DCA, the sides opposite to these equal angles are also equal, so DA = DC.
    In a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal (DA = BC and AB = CD).
    Therefore, AB = BC = CD = DA.
    Thus, all sides of the parallelogram are equal, and ABCD is a rhombus.
