MCQ
If a triangle and a parallelogram are on the same base and between the same parallels, then the ratio of the area of the triangle to the area of the parallelogram is:
  • $1 : 2$
  • B
    $1 : 3$
  • C
    $1 : 4$
  • D
    $3 : 4$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$1 : 2$
Since the triangle and the parallelogram are on the same base and between the same parallel line the base and the height of the triangle and the parallelogram are the same.
$⇒$ area of the triangle $=\frac{1}{2}\text{area of ||gm}$
Hence, the ratio $1 : 2.$
