(b) ∠P =85°, ∠Q = 85°, ∠R = 95°
(c) PQ = 7 cm, QR = 7 cm, RS = 8 cm, SP = 8 cm
(d) OP = 6.5 cm, OQ = 6.5 cm, OR = 5.2 cm, OS = 5.2 cm

Solution

Let us analyze each case one by one.
We have a quadrilateral named PQRS, with diagonals PR and QS intersecting at O.
(a) ∠P=100°, ∠Q = 80°, ∠R=100°
By angle sum property of a quadrilateral, we get:
∠P + ∠Q + ∠R + ∠S = 360°
⇒ 100° +80° +100° + ∠S = 360°
⇒ 280° + ∠S = 360°
⇒ ∠S - 80°
Clearly, ∠P = ∠R
And, ∠Q = ∠S
Thus we have PQRS a quadrilateral with opposite angles are equal.
Therefore, PORS is a parallelogram.

(b) ∠P = 85°, ∠Q=85°, ∠R=95°
By angle sum property of a quadrilateral, we get:
∠P + ∠Q + ∠R + ∠S = 360°
⇒ 85° +85° +95° + ∠S = 360°
⇒ 265° + ∠S = 360°
∠S = 95°
Clearly, ∠P ≠ ∠R
And ∠Q ≠ ∠S
Thus we have PQRS a quadrilateral with opposite angles are not equal. 
Therefore, PORS is not a parallelogram.

(c) PQ = 7cm, QR = 7cm, RS = 8cm, SP = 8cm
Clearly, PQ ≠ RS
And QR ≠ SP
Thus, we have PQRS a quadrilateral with opposite sides are not equal.
Therefore,
PQRS is not a parallelogram.

(d) OP = 6.5cm, OQ = 6.5cm, OR = 5.2cm, OS = 5.2cm
We know that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
But, here we have
OP ≠ OR
And OQ ≠ OS
Therefore, PQRS is not a parallelogram.

Hence, the correct choice is (a).
