Section-B :- Comprehension Type Questions :
The line segment joining the mid-points of any two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third
side and is equal to half of it. Thus, in a quadrilateral, the line segment joining the mid-
points of two adjacent sides is parallel to the diagonal passing through the non-common
points of these sides. Hence, the quadrilateral formed by joining the mid-points of the sides
of a quadrilateral is a parallelogram and the opposite sides are equal to half the
corresponding diagonal. Thus, if the diagonals are equal in a quadrilateral then in the quad-
rilateral formed by joining the mid-points, the sides will also be same and thus, this will be
a rhombus.
