Solution
`{:("PM = 10 cm"), ("A(∆PQS) = 100 sq.cm"), ("A(∆QRS) = 110 sq.cm"):} }"Given"`
Now,
In ∆PQS and ∆QRS,
seg QS is common base of ∆PQS and ∆QRS.
∴ `"A(∆PQS)"/"A(∆QRS)" = "PM"/"NR"` ...(Triangles having equal base)
∴ `100/110 = 10/"NR"`
∴ `"NR" = (110 × 10)/100`
∴ NR = 11 cm

In the figure, PQ ⊥ BC, AD ⊥ BC. To find the ratio of A(ΔPQB) and A(ΔPBC), complete the following activity.

Given: PQ ⊥ BC, AD ⊥ BC

Therefore,
`(A(ΔPQB))/(A(ΔPBC)) = (1/2 xx square xx square)/(1/2 xx square xx square)`
= `square/square`
