The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two statements given about the parallelogram ABCD. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement I **Statement I:** "Let ABCD be a parallelogram which is not a rectangle. Then, \(2(AB^2 + BC^2) \neq AC^2 + BD^2\)." 1. **Understanding the properties of a parallelogram:** In any parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other. The diagonals \(AC\) and \(BD\) can be analyzed using the properties of triangles formed by the sides and diagonals. 2. **Using the triangle properties:** Consider triangles \(ABC\) and \(BCD\): - In triangle \(ABC\), by the law of cosines, we have: \[ AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2 - 2 \cdot AB \cdot BC \cdot \cos(\angle ABC) \] - In triangle \(BCD\), we have: \[ BD^2 = BC^2 + CD^2 - 2 \cdot BC \cdot CD \cdot \cos(\angle BCD) \] - Since \(AB = CD\) in a parallelogram, we can substitute \(CD\) with \(AB\). 3. **Combining the equations:** Adding both equations: \[ AC^2 + BD^2 = (AB^2 + BC^2 - 2 \cdot AB \cdot BC \cdot \cos(\angle ABC)) + (BC^2 + AB^2 - 2 \cdot BC \cdot AB \cdot \cos(\angle BCD)) \] This simplifies to: \[ AC^2 + BD^2 = 2AB^2 + 2BC^2 - 2(AB \cdot BC)(\cos(\angle ABC) + \cos(\angle BCD)) \] Since \(\angle ABC\) and \(\angle BCD\) are not equal in a non-rectangular parallelogram, we conclude that: \[ 2(AB^2 + BC^2) \neq AC^2 + BD^2 \] Thus, Statement I is correct. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement II **Statement II:** "If ABCD is a rhombus with \(AB = 4 \text{ cm}\), then \(AC + BD = n\) for some positive integer \(n\)." 1. **Understanding the properties of a rhombus:** In a rhombus, all sides are equal, and the diagonals bisect each other at right angles. 2. **Calculating the diagonals:** Let \(AC\) and \(BD\) be the diagonals. Since \(AB = 4 \text{ cm}\), we can denote the half-lengths of the diagonals as: \[ AO = \frac{AC}{2}, \quad BO = \frac{BD}{2} \] By the Pythagorean theorem in triangle \(AOB\): \[ AB^2 = AO^2 + BO^2 \] Substituting \(AB = 4\): \[ 4^2 = \left(\frac{AC}{2}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{BD}{2}\right)^2 \] This simplifies to: \[ 16 = \frac{AC^2}{4} + \frac{BD^2}{4} \] Multiplying through by 4: \[ 64 = AC^2 + BD^2 \] 3. **Finding \(AC + BD\):** The values of \(AC\) and \(BD\) can be any positive integers that satisfy the equation \(AC^2 + BD^2 = 64\). For example, if \(AC = 8\) and \(BD = 0\), or \(AC = 4\sqrt{2}\) and \(BD = 4\sqrt{2}\), etc. Hence, \(AC + BD\) can be expressed as a positive integer \(n\). Thus, Statement II is also correct. ### Conclusion: - **Statement I:** Correct - **Statement II:** Correct ### Final Answer: Both statements are correct. ---
