Question:
Is quadrilateral ABCD a || gm?
I. Diagonals AC and BD bisect each other.
II. Diagonals AC and BD are equal.
(a) if the question can be answered by one of the given statements alone and not by the other;
(b) if the question can be answered by either statement alone;
(c) if the question can be answered by both the statements together but not by any one of the two;
(d) if the question cannot be answered by using both the statements together.
Solution:
We know that if the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisects each other, then it is a parallelogram.
∴ I gives the answer.
If the diagonals of a quadrilateral are equal, then it is not necessarily a parallelogram.
∴ II does not give the answer.
Hence, the correct answer is (a).
