Answer» <P>Answer: Consider the diagram given in the question. As we KNOW, the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. Therefore, ⇒AC and BD bisect each other at point O. Thus,⇒OA=OC and OB=OD Now, consider points P and Q. ⇒BP=PQ=DQ ---- (1) (1)Now, since OB=OD, soPB+OP=OQ+DQFrom equation (1), DQ+OP=OQ+DQ∴OP=OQ Thus, AC and PQ bisects each other. Thus, APCQ is a parallelogram, because both the diagonals bisect each other. Also, since, CQ and AP are the OPPOSITE sides of the parallelogram APCQ, they are parallel to each other.
