    When the points P, Q, R and S (in order) join together, it form a quadrilateral PQRS. The relation between the sides of quadrilateral PQRS is:

    A) \[\text{QR}=S\text{P}\] and \[\text{PQ}=\text{RS}\]

    B) \[\text{PQ}=\text{QR}\] and \[\text{RS}=S\text{P}\]

    C) \[\text{PQ},\text{ QR},\text{ RS}\] and \[SP\] all are different

    D)  None of the above

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[PQ=\sqrt{{{(4-7)}^{2}}+{{(5-6)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{{{(-3)}^{2}}+{{(-1)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{9+1}=\sqrt{10}\]
    \[QR=\sqrt{{{(7-4)}^{2}}+{{(6-3)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{{{(3)}^{2}}+{{(3)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{9+9}=\sqrt{18}\]
    \[RS=\sqrt{{{(4-1)}^{2}}+{{(3-2)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{{{(3)}^{2}}+{{(1)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{9+1}=\sqrt{10}\]and
    \[PS=\sqrt{{{(4-1)}^{2}}+{{(5-2)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{{{(3)}^{2}}+{{(3)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{9+9}=\sqrt{18}\]
    \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,PQ=RS=\sqrt{10}\] and \[QR=PS=\sqrt{18}\]
    So, option [a] is correct.
