Detailed Solution

Given that, in a rhombus ABCD, the diagonal AC bisects A as well as C and diagonal BD bisects B, as well as D.
The given figure depicts the given situation.
Question ImageSAS congruence criteria (side-Angle-side): If under a correspondence, two sides and the angle included between them of a triangle are equal to two corresponding sides and the angle included between them of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
The sides of a rhombus are equal and the opposite sides and angles of a rhombus are equal and parallel.
The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles, so we get:
OA = OC  [1]
OB = OD   [2]
AOB=BOC=COD=AOD= 90 0    [3]
In AOD and COD,
OA = OC  [from 1]
OD = OD  [common]
AOD=COD   [from 3]
By SAS congruence criteria, we get ΔAODΔCOD  .
We know that the corresponding parts of congruent triangles are equal.
Thus, by C.P.C.T., we get 5=6  .  [4]
Similarly, ΔBOCΔDOC  .
Thus, by C.P.C.T., we get 7=8  .  [5]
Similarly, ΔBOCΔBOA  .
Thus, by C.P.C.T., we get 1=2  .  [6]
Similarly, ΔAOBΔAOD  .
Thus, by C.P.C.T., we get 3=4  .  [7]
From the figure, we also get that:
B=1+2 A=4+3 D=5+6 C=7+8  
From the relations [4] [5] [6] and [7] we get,
1 2 B=1=2 1 2 A=4=3 1 2 D=5=6 1 2 C=7=8  
Thus, the diagonal AC bisects A as well as C and diagonal BD bisects B, as well as D. Hence, the given statement is true.
Therefore, the correct option is 1.
