ABCD is a quadrilateral in which P, Q, R and S are mid-points of the sides AB, BC, CD and DA. AC is a diagonal. Show that :
(i) `S R\ ||\ A C`and `S R=1/2A C`
(ii) `P Q\ =\ S R`
(iii) PQRS is a parallelogram.

In the triangle, `Delta ACD`, `S` and `R` are midpoints of `AD` and `CD`.
So, from Midpoint theorem, we can say that, `SR||AC` and `SR = 1/2AC`->(1)
Similarly, in the triangle, `Delta ACB`, `P` and `Q` are midpoints of `AB` and `CB`.
So, from Midpoint theorem, we can say that,
`PQ||AC` and `PQ= 1/2AC`->(2)
From (1) and (2),
...
