Let \(P, Q, R\) and \(S\) be the points on the plane with position vectors \(-2 \hat{\mathbf{i}}-\hat{\mathbf{j}}, 4 \hat{\mathbf{i}}, 3 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+3 \hat{\mathbf{j}}\) an \(\mathrm{d}-3 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+2 \hat{\mathbf{j}}\) respectively. The quadrilateral \(P Q R S\) must be a

  1. A
    parallelogram, which is neither a rhombus nor a rectangle
  2. B
    square
  3. C
    rectangle, but not a square
  4. D
    rhombus, but not a square
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A)
parallelogram, which is neither a rhombus nor a rectangle

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(m_{P Q}=\frac{1}{6}, m_{S R}=\frac{1}{6}, \quad m_{R Q}=-3\), \(m_{S P}=-3\)


\(\Rightarrow\) Parallelogram
But neither \(P R=S Q\) nor \(P R \perp S Q\).
\(\therefore\) Parallelogram, which is neither a rhombus nor a rectangle.
