Given:

In a parallelogram ABCD, the length of the line joining the midpoints of AD and AC is 2 units.

The perimeter of the parallelogram is 20 units.

Formula used:

Length of line joining midpoints of two sides of a parallelogram = Half the length of the third side

Perimeter of parallelogram = 2(AD + AB)

Calculation:

F1 Ajeet 11 12 2024 diagram 1

Let the length of AD = x units

Length of line joining midpoints of AD and AC = 2 units

⇒ Half of AD = 2 units

⇒ AD = 2 × 2

⇒ AD = 4 units

Perimeter of parallelogram = 20 units

⇒ 2(AD + AB) = 20

⇒ AD + AB = 10

Since AD = 4 units,

⇒ 4 + AB = 10

⇒ AB = 10 - 4

⇒ AB = 6 units

∴ The correct answer is option 1.
