If vec a ,\ vec b ,\ vec c and vec d...

If ` vec a ,\ vec b ,\ vec c` and ` vec d` are the position vectors of points `A , B ,\ C ,\ D` such that no three of them are collinear and ` vec a+ vec c= vec b+ vec d`, then `A B C D` is a

A

a) rhombus

B

b) rectangle

C

c) square

D

d) parallelogram

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d) parallelogram

` vec a+ vec c= vec b+ vec d`

` vec a- vec b= vec d- vec c`

`vec(BA)=vec(CD)`

`|vec(BA)|=|vec(CD)|`

`BA` is parallel to `CD`


` vec a+ vec c= vec b+ vec d`

` vec a- vec d= vec c- vec b`

`vec(AD)=vec(BC)`
