Solution
KP = `(1)/(3)"KN"` ...(since KP : PN = 1 : 2)
MQ = `(1)/(3)"LM"` ...(since LQ : MQ = 1 : 2)
But KN = LM ...(opposite sides of parallelogram KLMN)
⇒ `(1)/(3)"KN" = (1)/(3)"LM"`
∴ KP = MQ ..........(i)
Also,KN || LM
⇒ KN || MQ .......(ii)
From (i) and (ii)
KP = MQ and KP || MQ
Hence, KQMP is a parallelogram.
