उत्तर


Join AC.

P and Q are mid-points of AB and BC respectively.

∴ PQ || AC, PQ = `(1)/(2)"AC"`.........(i)

S and R are mid-points of AD and DC respectively.

∴ SR || AC, SR = `(1)/(2)"AC"`.........(ii)
From (i) and (ii)
PQ = SR
Therefore, PQRS is a parallelogram.
Since, diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other
Therefore, PQ and QS bisect each other.
