Answer :
Figure according to given information
SK = KL = QL … given … (i)
Consider ΔPKQ and ΔRLS
PQ = SR … opposite sides of parallelogram PQRS
∠PQK = ∠RSL … alternate pair of interior angles for parallel lines PQ and SR with transversal as SQ
SL = SK + KL and KQ = KL + LQ so using (i) we can say that
SL = KQ
Therefore, ΔPQK ≅ ΔRSL
⇒ ∠PKQ = ∠RLS … corresponding angles of congruent triangles
Thus PM || NR because ∠PKQ and ∠RLS are pair of alternate interior angles with transversal as KL
⇒ PM || NR … (ii)
Consider ΔPMS and ΔRNQ
∠PMS = ∠NRM … corresponding pair of angles for parallel lines PM and NR with transversal as SR … (a)
∠NRM = ∠RNQ … alternate interior angles for parallel lines PQ and SR with transversal as NR … (b)
⇒ ∠PMS = ∠RNQ … using equation (a) and (b)
∠PSM = ∠RQN … opposite pair of angles for parallelogram PQRS
PS = QR … opposite pair of sides for parallelogram PQRS
Therefore, ΔPMS ≅ ΔRNQ … AAS test for congruency
⇒ PM = NR … corresponding sides of congruent triangles … (iii)
⇒ SM = NQ … corresponding sides of congruent triangles … (c)
As PQ = SR … opposite sides of parallelogram PQRS … (d)
From figure PN = PQ – NQ and MR = SR – SM
Using (c) and (d)
PN = SR – SM
⇒ PN = MR … (iv)
As PQ || SR and PN and MR lie on the lines PQ and SR respectively hence we can conclude that
PN || MR … (v)
Using equations (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) we can conclude that for quadrilateral PMRN the opposite sides are congruent and parallel therefore, PMRN is a parallelogram
