  1. ABCD is a parallelogram, circumscribing a circle is a rhombus.
    ABCD is a parallelogram, therefore
    AB = CD …(1)
    BC = AD …(2)
    We know that the tangent drawn from some external point to circle are equal. so,
    DR = DS [Tangents drawn from point D] …(3)
    CR = CQ [Tangents drawn from point C] …(4)
    BP = BQ [Tangents drawn from point B] …(5)
    AP = AS [Tangents drawn from point A] …(6)
    Adding (3), (4), (5) and (6), we have
    DR + CR + BP + AP = DS + CQ + BQ + AS
    ⇒ (DR + CB) + BP + AP ) = (DS + AS) + (CQ + BQ)
    ⇒ CD + AB = AD + BC …(7)
    From (1), (2) and (7), we have
    AB = BC = CD = DA
    Hence, ABCD is a rhombus.
