    If ABCD be a parallelogram and M be the point of intersection of the diagonals. If O is any point, then\[\overset{\to }{\mathop{OA}}\,+\overset{\to }{\mathop{OB}}\,+\overset{\to }{\mathop{OC}}\,+\overset{\to }{\mathop{OD}}\,\]is

    A)  \[3\overset{\to }{\mathop{OM}}\,\]                                    

    B)  \[4\overset{\to }{\mathop{OM}}\,\]

    C)  \[\overset{\to }{\mathop{OM}}\,\]                       

    D)         \[2\overset{\to }{\mathop{OM}}\,\]

    E)  \[\frac{1}{2}\overset{\to }{\mathop{OM}}\,\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    We know that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. Therefore, M is the mid point of AC and BD both. \[\therefore \] \[\overrightarrow{OA}+\overrightarrow{OC}=2\overrightarrow{OM}\text{ }and\text{ }\overrightarrow{OB}+\overrightarrow{OD}=2\overrightarrow{OM}\] \[\Rightarrow \]    \[\overrightarrow{OA}+\overrightarrow{OB}+\overrightarrow{OC}+\overrightarrow{OD}=4\overrightarrow{OM}\]
