Solution

The correct option is C 2BQ
In ABR, P is the mid-point of AB and DP||BR
D is the mid-point of AR .....(Converse of mid-point theorem).
Then, AR=2AD
AR=2BC (Opposite sides of parallelogram are equal, i.e. AD=BC)
AD=BC.

Also, D is the mid-point of AR and DQ||AB ....(Since, ABCD is parallelogram)
Then, Q is the mid-point of DC ....(Converse of mid-point theorem)
BR=2BQ.

Hence, option C is correct.
