What is the source? I have a doubt on OA

One of my friend has given me the practice questions in CD.
So source is Friend.......

let it be I think some experts can make this point really clear

I can bet when a quadrilateral has it diagonal perpendicular then it has to be a Rhombus

Correct answer must be E

Actually question is asking whether quadrilateral is square?

1.AC is perpendicular to BD - Diagonals of rectangle and square are always perpendicular.

2.AB+CD=BC+DA - This property is also same for square and rectangle

Thanks sudanshu,
I think i have to cramp all those rules,
Will search for all those quadrilateral rules before approaching same problem like this again.

can you please review: diagonals of rectangle are perpendicular to each other? I dont think so. Only Rhombus has the diagonal perpendicular. A square is a Rhombus. IMO A.

From option 1 : Diagonals are perpendicular to each other . So it can either be a square or a rhombus
From option 2:Sum of Pair of opposite sides are equal . So all sides are equal. Therefore it can be a square or a rhombus.

So option E.

Also note u can differentiate between a square and a rhombus using the angles. In square all angles are 90,whereas in rhombus it may or may not be the case. That's why all squares are rhombus

So u agree that from 1 we sure this quadrilateral is a rhombus.
what is rhombus? all sides are same right
so is nt it AB=BC=CD=DA?
Thus A is sufficient.

I completely agree that 1 is sufficient.

But can you please explain ,
Why we are not considering statement 2, There must be some reason behind it.

Because reply2msg is saying that
AB+CD=BC+DA - This property is also same for square and rectangle

and narik is saying that
From option 2:Sum of Pair of opposite sides are equal . So all sides are equal. Therefore it can be a square or a rhombus.

According to me it will definitely not be rectangle. Because in rectangle opposite sides are equal so its not possible.
But if it a square or a rhombus then it actually gives us the answer.
Or may be is it a trapezoid or kite.
Or may be any thing ....
Guys what do you think..

Hey guys i just did search on Quadrilaterals and this is what i find.

Definition of KITE
Hey, it looks like a kite. It has two pairs of sides. Each pair is made up of adjacent sides that are equal in length. The angles are equal where the pairs meet. Diagonals (dashed lines) meet at a right angle, and one of the diagonal bisects (cuts equally in half) the other.

Definition of RHOMBUS
A rhombus is a four-sided shape where all sides have equal length.
Also opposite sides are parallel and opposite angles are equal.
Another interesting thing is that the diagonals (dashed lines in second figure) of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.


With these Two definition ONE thing is Sure that option A is not sufficient.
Because it can be a Kite or a Rhombus


I am still not to figure out the second statement.....

Great man!! Very Insightful.

So, I can see E now Thanks.

Can you please explain Why statement 2 is not considerable.
