A.
B.
C.
Answer
D.

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
Let ABCD is a square of x unit side
Geometry mcq question image
Then ∠AOD = 90°
Then OD =
Diagonal of square ABCD = x
Line MB || OD
i.e OD = MB =
⇒ Then MBOD will be a rectangle become MB || OD, MB = OD =
BD || MO, MO = BD = x
