The quadrilateral formed by joining the mid-points of the side of quadrilateral PQRS, taken in order, is a rhombus, if
(a) PQRS is a rhombus
(b) PQRS is a parallelogram
(c) diagonals of PQRS are perpendicular
(d) diagonals of PQRS are equal
(d) Given, the quadrilateral $A B C D$ is a rhombus. So, sides $A B, B C, C D$ and $A D$ are equal.
Now, in $\triangle P Q S$, we have
$D$ and $C$ are the mid-points of $P Q$ and $P S$.
So, $\quad D C=\frac{1}{2} Q S$ [by mid-point theorem] ...(i)
Similarly, in $\triangle P S R$
$B C=\frac{1}{2} P R$ [by mid-point theorem] ...(ii)
As $\quad B C=D C \quad$ [since, $A B C D$ is a rhombus]
$\therefore \quad \frac{1}{2} Q S=\frac{1}{2} P R \quad$ [from Eqs. (i) and (ii)]
$\Rightarrow \quad Q S=P R$
Hence, diagonals of $P Q R S$ are equal.
