Solution.
Given: ABCD is trapezium and AB\parallel DC
Constructions: Join AC which intersect EF at O

Proof: In \triangle ADC, E is the mid-point of line AD and OE \parallel CD.
By mid-point theorem, O is mid-point of AC
 In \triangle CBA, as O is mid-point of AC
 OF\parallel AB (mid-point theorem)
Hence again by mid-point theorem, F is the mid-point of BC.
Hence proved
