29 (A)Let ABCD be a rhombus and P, Q, R and S be the mid- 3
points of sides AB, BC, CD and DA, respectively (Fig.). Join
AC and BD.

1
From triangle ABD, we have SP = BD and SP || BD (Because S
2
1 1
and P are mid-points) Similarly RQ = BD and RQ || BD
2
⇒ SP=RQ and SP||RQ
1
Hence PQRS is a parallelogram………..(i)
Here AC⊥ BD (As diagonals of a rhombus bisects
perpendicularly)
And AC || PQ
1
⇒ PQ ⊥ BD
and BD || SP
⇒ SP ⊥ PQ
Hence ∠ SPQ=90 ………………….(ii)
From (i) and (ii)
PQRS is a rectangle.

OR

∠EDA = ∠ECB [As ∠EDC = ∠ECD

AD = BC................[Sides of a square]

and ∠ADC = ∠BCD]

∠EDC + ∠ADC = ∠ECD + ∠BCD

⇒ ∠EDA = ∠ECB
[On addition] 1

∴ △EDA ≅△ECB..........[By SAS property]

∴ AE = BE..............[c.p.c.t.] 1

In right △BEC and right △CFB

∠BEC = ∠CFB 1

△BEC ≅△CFB ...[By RHS rule]

BC = CB ...[Common]

∴ ∠BCE = ∠CBF ...[c.p.c.t.]

54 x=540
x=10
Semi perimeter S = 27 x=270
And a=120 , b=170∧c=250 1

s – b =100
Hence s - a=150
