it can be done by contra positive proof assume anothee point with which it passes now angle in a semicircle is 90
diagonal of rhombus intersect at 90degree hence the pt. with which circle pass should coincide with pt. of intersection
diagonal of rhombus intersect at 90degree hence the pt. with which circle pass should coincide with pt. of intersection

Correct question:-
Prove that the circle drawn with any side of a rhombus as diameter passes through the point of intersection of its diagonals.
______________________________
To prove:
A circle drawn with Q as centre, will pass through A, B and O (i.e. QA = QB = QO)
Since all sides of a rhombus are equal,
AB = DC
Now, multiply (½) on both sides
(½)AB = (½)DC
So, AQ = DP
BQ = DP
Since Q is the midpoint of AB,
AQ= BQ
Similarly,
RA = SB
Again, as PQ is drawn parallel to AD,
RA = QO
Now, as AQ = BQ and RA = QO we have,
