sir I have a sol^n  with the help of complex number  (though it is not mine ).

$$\mathrm{sir}\:\mathrm{I}\:\mathrm{have}\:\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{sol}^{\mathrm{n}} \:\mathrm{with}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{help}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{complex}\:\mathrm{number} \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{though}\:\mathrm{it}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{not}\:\mathrm{mine}\:\right). \\ $$

let 2p,2q,2r &2s are the complex numbers   represents the four sides of the quadrilateral  ∴ p+q+r+s=0  now  A = p+ip  =(1+i)p    B= 2p+(1+i)q  C=2p+2q+(1+i)r  D= 2p+2q+2r+(1+i)s  AC=p+2q+r+i(r−p)  BD=D−B=q+2r+s+i(s−q)  BD+iAC=(p+q+r+s)+i(p+q+r+s)=0  ⇒iBD=AC⇒BD=AC & AC⊥BD

$$\mathrm{let}\:\mathrm{2p},\mathrm{2q},\mathrm{2r}\:\&\mathrm{2s}\:\mathrm{are}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{complex}\:\mathrm{numbers}\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{represents}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{four}\:\mathrm{sides}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{quadrilateral} \\ $$$$\therefore\:\mathrm{p}+\mathrm{q}+\mathrm{r}+\mathrm{s}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\mathrm{now}\:\:\mathrm{A}\:=\:\mathrm{p}+\boldsymbol{\mathrm{i}}\mathrm{p}\:\:=\left(\mathrm{1}+\boldsymbol{\mathrm{i}}\right)\mathrm{p} \\ $$$$\:\:\mathrm{B}=\:\mathrm{2p}+\left(\mathrm{1}+\boldsymbol{\mathrm{i}}\right)\mathrm{q}\:\:\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{2p}+\mathrm{2q}+\left(\mathrm{1}+\boldsymbol{\mathrm{i}}\right)\mathrm{r} \\ $$$$\mathrm{D}=\:\mathrm{2p}+\mathrm{2q}+\mathrm{2r}+\left(\mathrm{1}+\boldsymbol{\mathrm{i}}\right)\mathrm{s} \\ $$$$\mathrm{AC}=\mathrm{p}+\mathrm{2q}+\mathrm{r}+\boldsymbol{\mathrm{i}}\left(\mathrm{r}−\mathrm{p}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{BD}=\mathrm{D}−\mathrm{B}=\mathrm{q}+\mathrm{2r}+\mathrm{s}+\boldsymbol{\mathrm{i}}\left(\mathrm{s}−\mathrm{q}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{BD}+\boldsymbol{\mathrm{i}}\mathrm{AC}=\left(\mathrm{p}+\mathrm{q}+\mathrm{r}+\mathrm{s}\right)+\boldsymbol{\mathrm{i}}\left(\mathrm{p}+\mathrm{q}+\mathrm{r}+\mathrm{s}\right)=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\boldsymbol{\mathrm{i}}\mathrm{BD}=\mathrm{AC}\Rightarrow\mathrm{BD}=\mathrm{AC}\:\&\:\mathrm{AC}\bot\mathrm{BD} \\ $$
