Answer:
Given : ABCD is a quadrilateral. P, Q, R and S are the midpoints of AB, BC, CD and DA respectively.
To prove : PR and QS bisect each other.
Construction : Join AC
Solution :
To prove the given condition, we must prove that ABCD is a IIgm.
So,
In triangle ADC, PQ is the midpoint of AD and DQ.
Thus, PQ || AC (by mid-point theorem)
Similarly in triangle ABC,
SR || AC
PQ || AC and SR || AC
Then,
PQ || SR
Similarly, by joining BA, we get,
PS || QR
Then, In quadrilateral PQRS,
PQ || SR and PS || QR
Thus,
PQRS is a ||gm (Opposite sides are parallel)
Then,
PR and QS bisect each other (In ||gm, diagonals bisect each other)
