Question
ABCD is a trapezium in which AB || DC. Diagonals AC and BD intersect each other at O. Find the triangle which is equal to the area of  △ BOC.
Answer: Option D
:
D
It can be observed that ΔDAC and ΔDBC lie on the same base DC and between the same parallels AB and CD.
∴ Area (ΔDAC) = Area (ΔDBC)
SubtractingArea (ΔDOC) on both the sides
⇒ Area (ΔDAC) − Area (ΔDOC) = Area (ΔDBC) − Area (ΔDOC)
⇒ Area (ΔAOD) = Area (ΔBOC)
