Since ABCD is a parallelogram,
AB = CD ......1
BC = AD ......2
So,
DR = DS (Tangents on the circle from point D)
CR = CQ (Tangents on the circle from point C)
BP = BQ (Tangents on the circle from point B)
AP = AS (Tangents on the circle from point A)
Thus,
DR + CR + BP + AP = DS + CQ + BQ + AS
(DR + CR) + (BP + AP) = (DS + AS) + (CQ + BQ)
CD + AB = AD + BC
Putting the values of equations (1) and (2) in this equation,
2AB = 2BC
AB = BC .......3
Comparing equations (1), (2), and (3),
AB = BC = CD = DA
Thus ABCD is a rhombus.
