Since AB∥CD [ Opposite sides of ∥

gm

are parallel ]

⇒PB∥QC [ Parts of parallel lines are parallel ]

Also, AB=CD [ Opposite sides of ∥

gm

are equal ]

⇒

AB=

2

1

CD

⇒PB=QC [ P is the mid point of Ab and Q is the mid point of DC ]

Since PB∥QC and PB=QC

One pair of opposite sides of PBCQ are equal and parallel.

∴PBCQ is a ∥

gm

.

Hence, the answer is solved.
