उत्तर
It is given that
XY || BC ⇒ EY || BC
BE || AC ⇒ BE || CY
Therefore, EBCY is a parallelogram.
It is given that
XY || BC ⇒ XF || BC
FC || AB ⇒ FC || XB
Therefore, BCFX is a parallelogram.
Parallelograms EBCY and BCFX are on the same base BC and between the same parallels BC and EF.
∴ Area (EBCY) = Area (BCFX) ... (1)
Consider parallelogram EBCY and ΔAEB
These lie on the same base BE and are between the same parallels BE and AC.
∴ Area (ΔABE) = 1/2Area (EBCY) ... (2)
Also, parallelogram BCFX and ΔACF are on the same base CF and between the same parallels CF and AB.
∴ Area (ΔACF) = 1/2Area (BCFX) ... (3)
From equations (1), (2), and (3), we obtain
Area (ΔABE) = Area (ΔACF)

A villager Itwaari has a plot of land of the shape of a quadrilateral. The Gram Panchayat of the village decided to take over some portion of his plot from one of the corners to construct a Health Centre.
