Because two bisectors of adjacent angles make 90° between them So PQRS is a Rectangle
Because DP and BR are acute angle bisectors so the distance between them PQ < PS (The distance between other two bisectors)
So PQ ≠ PS (So PQRS is not a square, but only a rectangle)
Hence, correct option is (c).

Question 3
The angles of quadrilateral are in the ratio 3: 5: 9: 13, Find all the angles of the quadrilateral.
Solution 3
Let the common ratio between the angles is x. So, the angles will be 3x, 5x, 9x and 13x respectively.
Since the sum of all interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360o.
3x + 5x + 9x + 13x = 360o
Since the sum of all interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360o.
3x + 5x + 9x + 13x = 360o30x = 360o
x = 12o
Hence, the angles are
3x = 3
12 = 36o5x = 5
12 = 60o9x = 9
12 = 108o13x = 13
12 = 156o Question 4

Let ABCD is a quadrilateral in which P, Q, R and S are mid-points of sides AB, BC, CD and DA respectively.
Join PQ, QR, RS, SP and BD.
In
ABD, S and P are mid points of AD and AB respectively.
So, By using mid-point theorem, we can say that
