Answer

The quadrilateral formed by angle bisectors of a cyclic quadrilateral is. Loci, RSA Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 10.

Given,

ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral in which AP, BP, CR and DR are the angle bisectors of ∠A, ∠B, ∠C and ∠D respectively, forming quadrilateral PQRS.

In ΔPAB,

∠APB + ∠PAB + ∠PBA = 180° [Sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°]

But,

∠PAB = 12\dfrac{1}{2}∠A and ∠PBA = 12\dfrac{1}{2}∠B [AP and BP are angle bisectors]

So,

∠APB + 12\dfrac{1}{2}∠A + 12\dfrac{1}{2}∠B = 180° …(i)

Similarly, in ΔRCD,

∠CRD + ∠RCD + ∠RDC = 180° [Sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°]

But,

∠RCD = 12\dfrac{1}{2}∠C and ∠RDC = 12\dfrac{1}{2}∠D [CR and DR are angle bisectors]

So,

∠CRD + 12\dfrac{1}{2}∠C + 12\dfrac{1}{2}∠D = 180° …(ii)

Adding (i) and (ii),

∠APB + ∠CRD + 12\dfrac{1}{2} (∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D) = 360°

But,

∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360° [Sum of angles of a quadrilateral]

So,

∠APB + ∠CRD + 12\dfrac{1}{2} × 360° = 360°

∠APB + ∠CRD + 180° = 360°

∠APB + ∠CRD = 180°

Since a pair of opposite angles of quadrilateral PQRS is supplementary,

PQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral.

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
