  • Question
  • X, Y are the mid-points of opposite sides AB and DC of a parallelogram ABCD. AY and DX are joined intersecting in P; CX and BY are joined intersecting in Q. Then PXQY is a :


  • Options
  • A. Rectangle
  • B. Rhombus
  • C. Parallelogram
  • D. Square

  • Correct Answer
  • Parallelogram 

    Explanation

    From above given figure ,
    Proceeding as in Q. No. 4, we can prove that AXCY is a parallelogram .
    Similarly, BXDY is a parallelogram.
    Now, AXCY is a parallelogram .
    ? AY || CX
    [? Opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel]
    ? PY || QX ?(1)
    Also, BXDY is a parallelogram
    ? DX || BY [? Opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel]
    ? PX || QY ?(2)
    Thus, in a quadrilateral PXQY,
    From (i) and (ii) ,
    we have , PY || QX and PX || QY
    ? PXQY is a parallelogram.
