Look at the statements given below:
$i.$ A parallelogram and a rectangle on the same base and between the same parallels are equal in area.
$ii.$ In a $\| gm \text{ABCD},$ it is given that $AB = 10\ cm.$
The altitudes $DE$ on $AB$ and $BF$ on $AD$ being $6\ cm$ and $8\ cm$ respectively, then $AD = 7.5\ cm.$
$iii.$ Area of a $\| gm =\frac{1}{2}\times\text{base}\times\text{altitude}.$
Which is true?

  • A
    $I$ only
     
  • B
    $II$ only
     
  • $I$ and $II$
     
  • D
    $II$ and $III$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$I$ and $II$
 
Since the parallelogram and the rectangle are on the same base and between the same parallels, they are equal in area.
So, the statement $(I)$ is true.

$\operatorname{ar}(\| g m \text{ABCD})=A B \times D E=10 \times 6 \mathrm{\sim cm}^2$
Similarly,
$\operatorname{ar}(\| g m \mathrm{ABCD})=\mathrm{AD} \times \mathrm{BF}=\mathrm{AD} \times 8$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{AD} \times 8=60$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{AD}=7.5 \mathrm{\sim cm}$
So, $(II)$ is true.
$\operatorname{ar}(\| g m)=$ base $\times$ altitude
So, $(III)$ is false.

MCQ 21 Mark
In the given figure $ABCD$ is a trapezium in which $AB || DC$ such that $AB = a\ cm$ and $DC = b\ cm.$ If $E$ and $F$ are the midpoints of $AD$ and $BC$ respectively. Then, $ar(ABFE) : ar(EFCD) = ?$
  • A
    $a : b$
  • B
    $(a + 3b) : (3a + b)$
  • $(3a + b) : (a + 3b)$
  • D
    $(2a + b) : (3a + b)$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$(3a + b) : (a + 3b)$
Since $E$ and $F$ are the midpoints of $AD$ and $BC$ respectively.
$\text{EF}=\frac{1}{2}(\text{AB}+\text{CD})$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{EF}=\frac{1}{2}(\text{a}+\text{b})$
Let $d$ be the distance between $AB$ and $EF.$
Then, $d$ is the distance between $EF$ and $DC.$
$ar($trapezium $ABFE)=\frac{1}{2}\text{(sum of the parallel sides)}\times\text{d}$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times(\text{AB}+\text{EF})\times\text{d}$
$=\frac{1}{2}\Big(\text{a}+\frac{1}{2}(\text{a}+\text{b})\Big)\times\text{d}$
$=\frac{(3\text{a}+\text{b})\times\text{d}}{4}$
$ar($trapezium $EFCD) =\frac{1}{2}\text{(sum of the parallel sides)}\times\text{d}$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times(\text{EF}+\text{CD})\times\text{d}$
$=\frac{1}{2}\Big(\frac{1}{2}(\text{a}+\text{b})\Big)\times\text{d}$
$=\frac{(\text{a}+3\text{b})\times\text{d}}{4}$
So,
$\frac{\text{ar}{(\text{trapezium ABFE}})}{\text{ar}{(\text{trapezium ABFE}})}=\frac{\frac{(3\text{a}+\text{b})\times\text{d}}{4}}{\frac{(\text{a}+3\text{b})\times\text{d}}{4}}$
$=\frac{3\text{a}+\text{b}}{\text{a}+3\text{b}}$
Hence, the required ratio is $(3a + b) : (a + 3b).$

$ABCD$ is a $||\ gm$ and $AC$ and $BD$ are the diagonals.
So, $\text{ar}(\triangle\text{ABD})=\frac{1}{2}\text{ar}(||\text{gm ABCD})$
We know that, the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
So, $O$ is the mid-point of $AC$ and $BD.$
In $\triangle\text{ABD},$
$AO$ is the median on $BD.$
So, $\text{ar}(\triangle\text{OAB})=\frac{1}{2}\text{ar}(\triangle{\text{ABD}})$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{2}\text{ar}(|| \text{gm ABCD})$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{2}\times52$

  • B
    The diagonals of a ||gm divide it into four triangles of equal area.
  • C
    In a $\triangle\text{ABC},$ if $E$ is the midpoint of median $AD$, then $\text{ar}(\triangle\text{BED})=\frac{1}{4}\text{ar}(\triangle\text{ABC}).$
  • In a trapezium $ABCD,$ it is given that $AB || DC$ and the diagonals $AC$ and $BD$ intersect at $O.$ Then, $\text{ar}(\triangle\text{AOB})=\text{ar}(\triangle\text{ABC}).$

Answer
Correct option: D.
In a trapezium $ABCD,$ it is given that $AB || DC$ and the diagonals $AC$ and $BD$ intersect at $O.$ Then, $\text{ar}(\triangle\text{AOB})=\text{ar}(\triangle\text{ABC}).$

Clearly, options $(a)$ and $(b)$ are true.
Since $AD$ is the median,
$\text{ar}(\triangle\text{ADB})=\frac{1}{2}\text{ar}(\triangle\text{ABC})$
Since $E$ is the mid-point of $AD, BE$ is the median on $AD.$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{ar}(\triangle\text{BED})=\frac{1}{2}\text{ar}(\triangle\text{ADB})$
$=\frac{1}{2}\Big(\frac{1}{2}\text{ar}(\triangle\text{ABC})\Big)$
$=\frac{1}{4}\text{ar}(\triangle\text{ABC})$
So, the statement is true.

Answer
Correct option: D.
$\frac{1}{8}\text{ar}(\triangle\text{ABC})$
We know that the median of a triangle divides the triangle into two triangles with equal areas.
Since $D$ is the mid-point of $BC, AD$ is the median on $BC.$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{ar}(\triangle\text{ABD})=\frac{1}{2}\text{ar}(\triangle\text{ABC})$
Since $E$ is the mid-point of $BD, AE$ is the median on $BD.$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{ar}(\triangle\text{ABE})=\frac{1}{2}\text{ar}(\triangle\text{ABD})$
$=\frac{1}{2}\Big[\frac{1}{2}\text{ar}(\triangle\text{ABC})\Big]=\frac{1}{4}\text{ar}(\triangle\text{ABC})$
Since $O$ is the mid-point of $AE, BO$ is the median on $AE.$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{ar}(\triangle\text{BOE})=\frac{1}{2}\text{ar}(\triangle\text{ABE})$
$=\frac{1}{2}\Big[\frac{1}{4}\text{ar}(\triangle\text{ABC})\Big]=\frac{1}{8}\text{ar}(\triangle\text{ABC})$

$=\frac{1}{2} \times 18 \times 14$
$=126 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
So, the statement is true.
$b.$ area of a $\| g m=$ base $\times$ height
So, the statement is false.
$c.$ Since parallelograms between the same parallel lines and on the same base are equal in area, and a rectangle is a $ll\ gm,$ the statement is true.
$d.$ area of a $\| g m=$ base $\times$ height
$\Rightarrow 192=24 \times h$
$\Rightarrow h=8 \mathrm{~cm}$
So, the statement is true.

The midpoints of the sides of a triangle along with any of the vertices as the fourth point makes a parallelogram of area equal to
  • $\frac{1}{2}(\text{ar}\triangle\text{ABC})$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{3}(\text{ar}\triangle\text{ABC})$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{4}(\text{ar}\triangle\text{ABC})$
  • D
    $(\text{ar}\triangle\text{ABC})$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{1}{2}(\text{ar}\triangle\text{ABC})$
$\triangle\text{ABC}$ is divided into four triangles of equal area.
$ar($parallelogram $AFDE) =\text{ar}(\triangle\text{AFE})+\text{ar}(\triangle\text{DFE})$
$=2\text{ar}(\triangle\text{AFE})$
$=2\times\frac{1}{4}\text{ar}(\triangle\text{ABC})$
$=\frac{1}{2}\text{ar}(\triangle\text{ABC})$

$ABCD$ is a rhombus in which $\angle\text{C}=60^\circ.$ Then, $AC : BD = ?$
​​​​​​​
  • $\sqrt{3}:1$
  • B
    $\sqrt{3}:\sqrt{2}$
  • C
    $3:1$
  • D
    $3:2$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\sqrt{3}:1$

Given that $ABCD$ is a rhombus.
$BC = CD [$Since all the sides of a rhombus are equal$]$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{BDC}=\angle\text{BCD} [$Angles opposite equal sides are equal$]$
In $\triangle\text{BCD},$
$\angle\text{BDC}+\angle\text{BCD}+\angle\text{CBD}=180^\circ[ $Angle sum property$]$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{BDC}+60^\circ+\angle\text{BDC}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ 2\angle\text{BDC}=120^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{BDC}=60^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{BDC}=\angle\text{BCD}=60^\circ$
So, $\triangle\text{BCD},$ is an equilateral triangle.
$\therefore B D=B C=C D=x \text { (say) }$
We know that the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular bisectors of each other.
In right $\triangle \mathrm{AOB}$,
$A B^2=A O^2+O B^2[B y$ Pythagoras theoram $]$
$\Rightarrow A O^2=A B^2-O B^2$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{AO}^2=\text{x}^2-\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{2}\Big)^2$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{AO}^2=\text{x}^2-\Big(\frac{\text{x}^2}{4}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{AO}^2=\frac{3\text{x}^2}{4}$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{AO}=\frac{\sqrt{3}\text{x}}{2}$
So, $\text{AC}=\sqrt{3}\text{x}$
Thus,
$\frac{\text{AC}}{\text{BD}}=\frac{\sqrt{3}\text{x}}{\text{x}}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{1}$
Hence,
$\text{AC}:\text{BD}=\sqrt{3}:1.$

In the given figure, $ABCD$ is a rectangle inscribed in a quadrant of a circle of radius $10\ cm.$ If $\text{AD}=2\sqrt{5}\text{cm}$ then area of the rectangle is:
  • A
    $32 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
  • $40 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
  • C
    $44 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
  • D
    $48 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$40 \mathrm{~cm}^2$

Since $ABCD$ is a rectangle, $\text{AD}=\text{BC}=2\sqrt{5}\text{cm}$
In right $\triangle\text{ABC},$
$\text{AC}^2=\text{AB}^2+\text{BC}^2$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{AB}^2=\text{AC}^2-\text{BC}^2$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{AB}^2=10^2-(2\sqrt{5})^2$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{AB}^2=100-20$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{AB}=4\sqrt{5}\text{cm}$
$\therefore\ \text{ar(rectangle ABCD)}=\text{lenght}\times\text{breadth}$
$=\text{AB}\times\text{AD}$
$=4\sqrt{5}\times2\sqrt{5}$
$=40\text{cm}^2$

In a $\| g m A B C D$, if $P$ and $Q$ are midpoints of $A B$ and $C D$ respectively and $\operatorname{ar}(\| g m A B C D)=16 \mathrm{~cm}^2$, then ar$(\| g m \mathrm{~APQD})$ = ?
  • $8 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
  • B
    $12 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
  • C
    $6 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
  • D
    $9 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$8 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
Let $h$ be the distance between $AB$ and $CD.$
$ar(||\ gm\ APQD) =$ base $×$ height
$= AP × h ...(i)$
$ar(||\ gm\ APQD) AB × h$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{AB}=\frac{\text{ar}(||\text{gm APQD})}{\text{h}}$
Since $P$ is the mid-point of $AB, \text{AP}=\frac{1}{2}\text{AB }$
So, $(i)$ becomes
$\text{ar(||gm APQD)}=\frac{1}{2}\text{AB}\times\text{h}$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{ar(||gm APQD)}=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{\text{ar(||gm APQD)}}{\text{h}}\times\text{h}$
$=\frac{\text{ar(||gm APQD)}}{2}$
$=\frac{16}{2}$
$=8\text{cm}^2$
