Solution
An equilateral quadrilateral is one whose sides are equal. Hence it can be a rectangle or more generally it is a Rhombus. So we consider PQRS as Rhombus, whose diagonals are PR and QS. We know, that diagonals of a Rhombus bisect each other at right angles. Hence, PR is perpendicular to QS. Now any point O which is equidistant from P and R (PO = RO) must lie on its perpendicular bisector. Hence O will lie on QS. This implies that Q, O and S lie in a straight line which is perpendicular bisector of PR.
