    If vertices of any quadrilateral are (0, -1), (2,1), (0, 3) and  (- 2,1), then it is a     [RPET 1999]

    A) Parallelogram

    B) Square

    C) Rectangle

    D) Collinear

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let \[A\,(0,\,-1),\,B\,(2,\,\,1),\,\,C\,(0,\,\,3)\] and \[D\,(-2,\,1).\] Obviously\[AB=BC=CD=AD=2\sqrt{2}\] Also, \[AC=BD=4\] and slope of line \[AB=1,\] Slope of line\[AD=-1\]. \[\therefore \,\,\,\angle DAB={{90}^{o}}\] . Similarly, \[\angle B=\angle C=\angle D={{90}^{o}}\] i.e. each angle is right angle.  \[\therefore \] Quadrialteral is a square.
