Solution

Given quadrilateral PQRS is a paralleogram.
QPS + PSR = 180 (because consecutive angles of a parallelogram are supplementary) (1)

As, PC and SA are the respective angle bisectors of P and S,
on dividing both sides of (1) by 2, we have,
DPS + PSD = 90

Thus, in PDS, PDS = 90
or, ADC = PDS = 90 (vertically opposite angles)
Similarly, DCB = CBA = BAD = 90
Thus, fig.ABCD is a rectangle.
