Answer

∠A + ∠D = 180° [sum of Co-Int. angles in ∥gm is 180°]
⇒ = 90°
In triangle ASD,
∠DAS + ∠SDA + ∠ASD = 180°
+ ∠ASD = 180°
90° + ∠ASD = 180°
∠ASD = 90°
∠PSR = ∠ASD = 90° [Vertically opposite angles]
∠S = 90°
∠B + ∠C = 180° [sum of Co-Int. angles in ∥gm is 180°]
⇒ = 90°
In triangle BQC,
∠QCB + ∠QBC + ∠CQB = 180°
+ ∠CQB = 180°
90° + ∠CQB = 180°
∠CQB = 90°
∠PQR = ∠CQB = 90° [Vertically opposite angles]
∠Q = 90°
∠A + ∠B = 180° [sum of Co-Int. angles in ∥gm is 180°]
⇒ = 90°
In triangle APB,
+ ∠APB = 180°
90° + ∠APB = 180°
∠APB = 90°
∠P = 90°
In quadrilateral PQRS,
By angle sum property of quadrilateral:
∠P + ∠Q + ∠R + ∠S = 360°
90° + 90° + ∠R + 90° = 360°
∠R + 270° = 360°
∠R = 360° - 270°
∠R = 90°
Since, all angles of PQRS = 90°
∴ PQRS is a rectangle
Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
