Let P,Q, R and S be the points on the plane with postion vectors `-2hati -hatj , 4hati, 3hati + 3hatj and -3hatj + 2hatj ,` respectively, the quadrilateral PQRS must be a

A

Parallelogram, which is neither a rhombus nor a rectangle

B

square

C

rectangle, but not a square

D

rhombus, but not a square.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a

Evaluating midpoint of PR and QS which given
`M=[hati/2+hatj]` same of both.
`vec(OP)= vec(SR)= 6hati +hatj`
` vec(PS)=vec(QR)=-hati+ 3hatj`
`Rightarrow vec(OP).vec(PS) ne 0`
`vec(PQ)||vec(SR),vec(PS)||vec(QR)and |vec(PQ)|=|vec(SR)|,|vec(PS)|=|vec(QR)|`
Hence, PQRS is a parallelgram but not rhombus or rectangle.
