[goelmohit2002]

In triangle ABC, D is a point on side AB. E is a point on side AC. Is DE parallel to BC ?

a) D is midpoint of AB.
b) E is midpoint of AC.

OA = C. Can someone please tell how ?

This is a famous Geometry mid point triangle theorem.

You got to remember it dear - >>>
that any line joining the mid points of the two sides is always parallel to the third side of triangle
