answer.

Solution:

Let the diagonals AC and BD intersect in point O.

Since the sum of lengths of any two sides in a triangle should be greater than the length of the third side. Therefore, 

In Δ AOB, AB < OA + OB ……….(i) 

In Δ BOC, BC < OB + OC ……….(ii) 

In Δ COD, CD < OC + OD ……….(iii) 

In Δ AOD, DA < OD + OA ……….(iv) 

⇒ AB + BC + CD + DA < 2OA + 2OB + 2OC +

2OD  ⇒ AB + BC + CD + DA < 2[(AO + OC) + (DO

+ OB)]  ⇒ AB + BC + CD + DA < 2(AC + BD) 

Hence, it is proved.
