उत्तर
Take a point S on AC such that S is the mid-point of AC.
Extend PQ to T such that PQ = QT.
Join TC, QS, PS, and AQ.
In ΔABC, P and Q are the mid-points of AB and BC respectively. Hence, by using mid-point theorem, we obtain
PQ || AC and PQ = 1/2AC
⇒ PQ || AS and PQ = AS (As S is the mid-point of AC)
∴ PQSA is a parallelogram. We know that diagonals of a parallelogram bisect it into equal areas of triangles.
∴ ar (ΔPAS) = ar (ΔSQP) = ar (ΔPAQ) = ar (ΔSQA)
Similarly, it can also be proved that quadrilaterals PSCQ, QSCT, and PSQB are also parallelograms and therefore,
ar (ΔPSQ) = ar (ΔCQS) (For parallelogram PSCQ)
ar (ΔQSC) = ar (ΔCTQ) (For parallelogram QSCT)
ar (ΔPSQ) = ar (ΔQBP) (For parallelogram PSQB)
Thus,
ar (ΔPAS) = ar (ΔSQP) = ar (ΔPAQ) = ar (ΔSQA) = ar (ΔQSC) = ar (ΔCTQ) = ar (ΔQBP) ... (1)
Also, ar (ΔABC) = ar (ΔPBQ) + ar (ΔPAS) + ar (ΔPQS) + ar (ΔQSC)
ar (ΔABC) = ar (ΔPBQ) + ar (ΔPBQ) + ar (ΔPBQ) + ar (ΔPBQ)
= 4 ar (ΔPBQ)
⇒ ar (ΔPBQ) = 1/4 ar(ΔABC) ... (2)
(i)Join point P to C.
In ΔPAQ, QR is the median.
`therefore ar(trianglePRQ)=1/2ar(trianglePAQ)=1/2xx1/4ar(triangleABC)=1/8ar(triangleABC)" .........(3)"`
In ΔABC, P and Q are the mid-points of AB and BC respectively. Hence, by using mid-point theorem, we obtain
PQ = 1/2AC
AC = 2PQ ⇒ AC = PT
Also, PQ || AC ⇒ PT || AC
Hence, PACT is a parallelogram.
ar (PACT) = ar (PACQ) + ar (ΔQTC)
= ar (PACQ) + ar (ΔPBQ [Using equation (1)]
∴ ar (PACT) = ar (ΔABC) ... (4)
`ar(triangleARC) = 1/2ar(trianglePAC)" (CR is the median of ΔPAC)"`
`= 1/2xx1/2ar(PACT)" (PC is the diagonal parallelogram PACT)"`
`= 1/4 ar(PACT) = 1/4 ar(triangleABC)`
`rArr 1/2ar(triangleARC) = 1/8ar(triangleABC)`
`rArr1/2ar(triangleARC)=ar(trianglePRQ)" [Using equation (3)] .......(5)"`
(ii)
ar(PACT) = ar(ΔPRQ) + ar(ΔARC) + ar(ΔQTC) + ar(ΔRQC)
Putting the values from equations (1), (2), (3), (4), and (5), we obtain
`ar(ΔABC) = 1/8ar(ΔABC) + 1/4ar(ΔABC) + 1/4ar(ΔABC) + ar(ΔRQC)`
`ar(ΔABC) = 5/8ar(ΔABC) + ar(ΔRQC)`
`ar(ΔRQC) = (1-5/8)ar(ΔABC)`
`ar(ΔRQC) = 3/8ar(ΔABC)`
(iii) In parallelogram PACT,
`ar(ΔARC) = 1/2ar(ΔPAC)" (CR is the median of ΔPAC)"`
`= 1/2xx1/2ar(PACT)" (PC is the diagonal of parallelogram PACT)"`
`= 1/4ar(PACT)`
`= 1/4ar(ABC)`
= ar(ΔPBQ)
