MGMAT - parallelogram

[marcusking]

In the quadrilateral PQRS, side PS is parallel to side QR. Is PQRS a parallelogram?

(1) PS = QR

(2) PQ = RS

OA is A but I think it should be D.

If we know that PS || QR then if PQ = RS shouldn't PQ || RS also? I've tried to sketch it to get it to be wrong but I can't come up with any situation where it doesn't make a parallelogram.

Its hard to explain without a diagram.

PS ll QR

Obviously you see that A is sufficient

I will try a diagram this way, not sure how it will turn out

As you can see the two parellel lines (PS and QR) can produce two lines of equal length that are not parellel. Hence, it is not a parellogram.
That is only possible if PQ not equal PS. If they are equal, only a parrellogram is possible.

IMO A

Lol didnt turn out well.

To explain it:

Imagine two 45/45/90 triangles on opposite sides of a square facing the opposite direction. That was the shape I was trying to illustrate.

Thanks for trying. I think I finally was able to envision what it would look like
