The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given statements about the parallelogram ABCD and the conditions provided. ### Step 1: Understand the Properties of a Parallelogram - In a parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other. - The lengths of the diagonals can be calculated using the formula: \[ AC^2 + BD^2 = 2(AB^2 + BC^2) \] - Since ABCD is a parallelogram, we can use this property to analyze the given lengths. ### Step 2: Substitute the Given Values - We have the following values: - \( AC = 2mn \) - \( BD = m^2 - n^2 \) - \( AB = \frac{m^2 + n^2}{2} \) ### Step 3: Calculate \( AC^2 \) and \( BD^2 \) - Calculate \( AC^2 \): \[ AC^2 = (2mn)^2 = 4m^2n^2 \] - Calculate \( BD^2 \): \[ BD^2 = (m^2 - n^2)^2 = m^4 - 2m^2n^2 + n^4 \] ### Step 4: Use the Parallelogram Diagonal Formula - Substitute these into the diagonal formula: \[ 4m^2n^2 + (m^4 - 2m^2n^2 + n^4) = 2\left(\left(\frac{m^2 + n^2}{2}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{m^2 + n^2}{2}\right)^2\right) \] - Simplifying the right side: \[ 2\left(\frac{(m^2 + n^2)^2}{4} + \frac{(m^2 + n^2)^2}{4}\right) = \frac{(m^2 + n^2)^2}{2} \] ### Step 5: Equate and Simplify - Now we equate both sides: \[ 4m^2n^2 + m^4 - 2m^2n^2 + n^4 = \frac{(m^2 + n^2)^2}{2} \] - This simplifies to: \[ m^4 + 2m^2n^2 + n^4 = \frac{(m^2 + n^2)^2}{2} \] - Which means: \[ (m^2 + n^2)^2 = 2(m^2 + n^2)^2 \] - This holds true under the conditions given. ### Step 6: Analyze the Statements - **Statement I**: \( AC > BD \) - We need to check if \( 2mn > m^2 - n^2 \). - Rearranging gives \( m^2 - 2mn + n^2 < 0 \), which factors to \( (m - n)^2 < 0 \), which is not possible. - **Statement II**: ABCD is a rhombus. - For ABCD to be a rhombus, all sides must be equal, which we have shown is true from our calculations. ### Conclusion - Statement I is false, while Statement II is true. - Therefore, the correct answer is that Statement II is true, but Statement I is not a correct explanation for Statement II.
