उत्तर

It is given that
Area (ΔAOD) = Area (ΔBOC)
Area (ΔAOD) + Area (ΔAOB) = Area (ΔBOC) + Area (ΔAOB)
Area (ΔADB) = Area (ΔACB)
We know that triangles on the same base having areas equal to each other lie between the same parallels.
Therefore, these triangles, ΔADB and ΔACB, are lying between the same parallels.
i.e., AB || CD
Therefore, ABCD is a trapezium.
