उत्तर
Joining PC we get,
ΔABC and ΔBPC are on the same base BC and between the same parallel lines AP and BC.
∴ A( ΔABC ) = A( ΔBPC ) ....(i)
ΔBPC and ΔBQP are on the same base BP and between the same parallel lines BP and CQ.
∴ A( ΔBPC ) = A( ΔBQP ) ....(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get
∴A( ΔABC ) = A( ΔBQP )
Hence proved.
