In a quadrilateral PQRS , M and N are mid-points of the sides P Q and RS respectively. If PS + QR = t MN , then t =

Options

A1 2
B4
C3 2
D2

Correct answer

D. 2

Step-by-step solution

p , q , r , s , m , n be the position vectors of points P , Q , R , S , M , N . Now PS + QR = s - p + r - q =( s + r )-( p + q ) Since M and N are mid-points of PQ and RS respectively, we write m = p + q 2 and n = r + s 2 eq. (1) becomes PS + QR =2 n -2 m =2( n - m )=2 MN From given data, t =2
