Solution:

(i) Given,$A B=B C$   $\ldots$ (i)

$M$ is the mid-point of $A B$.

$\therefore$ $A M=M B=\frac{1}{2} A B$ ...(ii)

and $N$ is the mid-point of $B C$.

$\therefore$ $B N=N C=\frac{1}{2} B C$ ....(iii)

According to Euclid's axiom, things which are halves of the same things are equal to one another.

From Eq. (i), $A B=B C$

On multiplying both sides by $\frac{1}{2}$, we get

$\frac{1}{2} A B=\frac{1}{2} B C$

$\Rightarrow$ $A M=N C$ [using Eqs. (ii) and (iii)] 

(ii) Given, $B M=B N$ $\ldots$ (i)

$M$ is the mid-point of $A B$. 

$\therefore$$A M=B M=\frac{1}{2} A B$

$\Rightarrow$  $2 A M=2 B M=A B$... (ii)

and $N$ is the mid-point of $B C$.

$\therefore$  $B N=N C=\frac{1}{2} B C$

$\Rightarrow$ $2 B N=2 N C=B C$ ...(iii)

According to Euclid's axiom, things which are double of the same thing are equal to one another.

On multiplying both sides of Eq. (i) by 2, we get

$2 B M=2 B N$

$\Rightarrow$ $A B=B C$[using Eqs. (ii) and (iii)]
