    Given in the question,

    ABCD is a rhombus and P, Q, R and S are the mid-points of the sides AB, BC, CD and DA respectively.

    To Prove,

    PQRS is a rectangle.

    Construction,

    Join AC and BD.

    Proof:

    In ΔDRS and ΔBPQ,

    DS = BQ (Halves of the opposite sides of the rhombus)

    ∠SDR = ∠QBP (Opposite angles of the rhombus)

    DR = BP (Halves of the opposite sides of the rhombus)

    , ΔDRS ≅ ΔBPQ [SAS congruency]

    RS = PQ [CPCT]———————- (i)

    In ΔQCR and ΔSAP,

    RC = PA (Halves of the opposite sides of the rhombus)

    ∠RCQ = ∠PAS (Opposite angles of the rhombus)

    CQ = AS (Halves of the opposite sides of the rhombus)

    , ΔQCR ≅ ΔSAP [SAS congruency]

    RQ = SP [CPCT]———————- (ii)

    Now,

    In ΔCDB,

    R and Q are the mid points of CD and BC respectively.

    ⇒ QR || BD

    also,

    P and S are the mid points of AD and AB respectively.

    ⇒ PS || BD

    ⇒ QR || PS

    , PQRS is a parallelogram.

    also, ∠PQR = 90°

    Now,

    In PQRS,

    RS = PQ and RQ = SP from (i) and (ii)

    ∠Q = 90°

    , PQRS is a rectangle.
