Hint: Use the properties of parallelogram: Opposite sides are parallel and equal, opposite angles are equal and sum of adjacent angles is 180.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Given, ACBCD is a parallelogram with O as the point of intersection of its diagonals AC and BD.
(i) We know that in parallelogram, lengths of opposite sides are equal. Hence, we can conclude that:
AD=BC
(ii) We know that in parallelogram, measure of opposite angles is equal. Hence, we can conclude that:
DCB=DAB
(iii) We know that in parallelogram, diagonals bisect each other. Hence, we can conclude that:
OC=OA
(iv) We know that in parallelogram, adjacent angles are supplementary (i.e. their sum is 180). Hence, we can conclude that:
mDAB+mCDA=180

Note: In parallelogram, although the diagonals bisect each other but their lengths are not equal.
In the above parallelogram, ACBD.
