उत्तर
Given: In a parallelogram PQRS, O is any point on the diagonal PR.
To prove: ar (ΔPSO) = ar (ΔPQO)
Construction: Join SQ which intersect PR at B.
Proof: We know that, diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, so B is the mid-point of SQ.
Here, PB is a median of ΔQPS and we know that, a median of a triangle divides it into two triangles of equal area.
∴ ar (ΔBPQ) = ar (ΔBPS) ...(i)
Also, OB is the median of ΔOSQ.
∴ ar (ΔOBQ) = ar (ΔOBS) ...(ii)
On adding equations (i) and (ii), we get
ar (ΔBPQ) + ar (ΔOBQ) = ar (ΔBPS) + ar (ΔOBS)
⇒ ar (ΔPQO) = ar (ΔPSO)
Hence proved.
