Points P and Q have been taken on opposite sides AB and CD, respectively of a parallelogram ABCD such that AP = CQ (Figure). Show that AC and PQ bisect each other.
Solution.
Given: ABCD is a parallelogram and AP = CQ
To Prove: AC and PQ bisect each other.
Proof :
Here ABCD is a parallelogram
It is given that
Thus APCQ is a parallelogram.
And we know that diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
Hence AC and PQ bisect each other.
Hence proved
