Let P Q R S be a quadrilateral. If M and N are midpoints of the sides P Q and R S respectively then P S → + Q R → =
Options
- A3   M N →
- B4   M N →
- C2   M N →
- D5 M N →
Correct answer
C. 2   M N →
Step-by-step solution
m ¯ = p ¯ + q ¯ 2 n ¯ = r ¯ + s ¯ 2 P S ¯ + Q R ¯ = ( S ¯ − p ¯ ) + ( r ¯ − q ¯ ) = r ¯ + s ¯ - ( p ¯ + q ¯ ) = 2 n ¯ - 2 m ¯ = 2 ( n ¯ - m ¯ ) = 2 M N ¯
