  1. A rectangle.
  2. B square.
  3. C rhombus.
  4. D cyclic quadrilateral
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) rhombus.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Slope of \(x+3 y=4\) is \(\mathrm{m}_1=-\frac{1}{3}\)
Slope of \(6 x-2 y=7\) is \(m_2=3\)
Here, \(\mathrm{m}_1 \cdot \mathrm{~m}_2=-1\)
\(\therefore \quad\) The diagonals are perpendicular to each other.
\(\therefore \quad\) Parallelogram ABCD is a rhombus.
