AE is a median to side BC of triangle ABC. If area(ΔABC) = 24 cm, then area(ΔABE) =

8 cm 12 cm 16 cm 18 cm

In the figure, ∠PQR = 90°, PS = RS, QP = 12 cm and QS = 6.5 cm. The area of ΔPQR is

30 cm2 20 cm2 39 cm2 60 cm2

In ΔPQR, if D and E are points on PQ and PR respectively such that DE || QR, then ar (PQE) is equal to

ar (PRD) ar (DQM) ar (PED) ar (DQR)

If Diagonals AC and BD of a trapezium ABCD with AB || DC intersect each other at O. Then,

ar (AOD) = ar (BOC) ar (AOD) > ar (BOC) ar (AOD) < ar (BOC) None of the above

Two parallelograms are on equal bases and between the same parallels. The ratio of their areas is

1 : 2 1 : 1 2 : 1 3 : 1

If a triangle and a parallelogram are on the same base and between same parallels, then the ratio of the area of the triangle to the area of parallelogram is

1 : 3 1 : 2 3 : 1 1 : 4

PQRS is a parallelogram and A and B are any points on PQ and QR. If ar(PQRS) = 48 cm², then ar(ΔPBS) + ar(ΔASR) is equal to

96 cm² 36 cm² 48 cm² 24 cm²

If E, F, G and H are the mid-points of the sides of a parallelogram ABCD, respectively, then ar (EFGH) is equal to:

1/2 ar(ABCD) ¼ ar(ABCD) 2 ar(ABCD) ar(ABCD)

If P and Q are any two points lying on the sides DC and AD respectively of a parallelogram ABCD, then:

ar(APB) > ar(BQC) ar(APB) < ar(BQC) ar(APB) = ar(BQC) None of the above

If ABCD and EFGH are two parallelograms between same parallel lines and on the same base, then:

ar (ABCD) > ar (EFGH) ar (ABCD) < ar (EFGH) ar (ABCD) = ar (EFGH) None of the above

A median of a triangle divides it into two

Congruent triangles Isosceles triangles Right triangles Equal area triangles

If a triangle and a parallelogram are on the same base and between same parallels, then the ratio of the area of the triangle to the area of the parallelogram will be:

1:2 3:2 1:4 1:3
